Using Tiny Core

This section has various articles I have written about Tiny Core.

Install to Compact Flash describes how to install Tiny Core 3.4 along with Grub on to a Compact Flash card when you can't perform the installation on the actual target system. A conventional install assumes that the target drive is the boot drive. This deals with the problem of installing Tiny Core on /dev/sdc which then turns out to be /dev/hda when you move it to the target hardware. These days life is easier as the Linux Live program or similar will create bootable media for you using syslinux rather than grub - albeit in a FAT partition. This is covered in Install to Pen Drive.

Custom Kernel provides some notes on compiling your own kernel.

Install to Pen Drive is a simple how-to covering installing Tiny Core onto a pen drive using either the USB Universal Installer or the Linux Live installer.

First steps is a minimal description of what to do the first time you boot Tiny Core. It's just to give a first time user some idea of how to start setting up Tiny Core for what ever use they have in mind. I just cover adding support for a non-US keyboard and installing a browser so that you can surf the internet.

Web Server is a detailed description of how to set up a Tiny Core 4.0 system as a web server with Apache, Samba, FTP and SSH.
