Install Tiny Core without a CD or DVD Drive

UNetbootin

Tiny Core may be installed without a CD or DVD drive using the Tiny Core iso and UNetbootin. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

To install Tiny Core using this method, follow the instructions on the UNetbootin website. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Reinstall

This method is not ideal. The other methods have advantages. For example, UNetbootin installs to a FAT32 filesystem, whereas Tiny Core should ideally be installed to a Linux filesystem. Also if you install Tiny Core to a USB drive using Tiny Core's HD/USB Install, the USB drive is identified using UUID, whereas it is not when using UNetbootin.

An ideal approach for those who don't have a CD or DVD drive, is to install Tiny Core to a USB drive using UNetbootin. Then use this to reinstall Tiny Core to the hard drive or another USB drive using HD/USB Install from the Tiny Core Control Panel.
