Download the zip, unarchive it and...
- If on Windows, double-click Pipulate.vbs.
- If on Mac OSX, double-click Pipulate.
- If on Linux, double-click Pipulate.sh and select Run in Terminal.
- Windows may prompt you to allow it to run and unblock firewall.
- Mac OS X may require you to right-click or Control-click and open.
- Ubuntu 14.04 Nautilus / Edit / Preferences / Behavior / Executable Text Files, "Select Ask Each Time"
Inclusion of additional packages is simple, but requires a few steps be taken to optimize and set up.
- Download the package and any dependencies from http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/6.x/x86/tcz/ (dependencies are listed in the {package}.tcz.dep file).
- Add the downloaded
.tcz
files to/Reset/Server/Ingredients/Custom
- Add the name of the downloaded package without the
.tcz
file extension to/Reset/Server/Ingredients/extras.lst
Optional: /Reset/Server/Ingredients/install_extras.sh
can be duplicated and point at a file other than extras.lst
. This can allow for different packages to be grouped and have group output silenced by pointing the output to /dev/null
Note: Ensure you do not write below the last line in the extras.lst
file
Generally speaking, Levinux will use the most recent version of TinyCore Linux available. If it is out of date, it will be upgraded in a timely manner. For the time being, this upgrade will be performed by @miklevin himself to ensure the validity of the image.
That being said, if you want to upgrade on your own, the process is simple:
- Download the latest core-current.iso from http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/downloads.html Use the ~9MB file labeled Core.
- Open the .iso image and go into the boot directory. Some versions of Windows may require special software for this.
- Copy the files named core.gz and vmlinuz into the MacOS directory and overwrite the existing versions.
That's it. Start the levinux application and it should show the version number.
