Install Tiny Core Linux Vmware Install Ova. It boots in 1-2 seconds and is based on the awesome Tiny Core Linux. Iwan: What I did is only. Install it to a disk so.

Tiny Core Linux (TCL) is a minimal Linuxoperating system focusing on providing a base system using BusyBox and FLTK, developed by Robert Shingledecker.[2] The distribution is notable for its small size (11 to 16 MB) and minimalism; additional functions are provided by extensions. Tiny Core Linux is free and open source software and is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.

Types of 'Cores'[edit]

'Tiny Core' (16 MB) is the recommended option for new users who have a wired network connection. It includes the base Core system and a dynamic FLTK/FLWMgraphical user interface.[3]

'Core' (11 MB) (also known as 'Micro Core Linux') is a smaller variant of Tiny Core without a graphical desktop, though additional extensions can be added to create a system with a graphical desktop environment.[3]

'dCore' (12 MB) is a core made from Debian or Ubuntu compatible files that uses import and the SCE package format,[4] a self-contained package format for the Tiny Core distribution since 5.x series.

'CorePure64' is a notable port of 'Core' to the x86_64 architecture.

Vmware linux install

'Core Plus' (106 MB) is 'an installation image and not the distribution'.[3] It is composed of Tiny Core with additional functionality, most notably wireless support and non-US keyboard support.[3]

'piCore' is the Raspberry Pi port of 'Core.'

System requirements[edit]

Minimal configuration:Tiny Core needs at least 46 MB of RAM in order to run, and Core requires at least 28 MB of RAM. The minimum CPU is an i486DX.[5]

Recommended configuration:A Pentium 2 CPU and 64 MB of RAM are recommended for Tiny Core.[5]

Design philosophy[edit]

The developers describe TCL as 'a nomadic ultra small graphical desktop operating system capable of booting from cdrom, pendrive, or frugally from a hard drive.'[6] As of version 2.8.1, the core is designed to run primarily in RAM but with three distinct modes of operation:

Tiny Core Linux Download

  • 'Cloud' or Internet mode — A 'testdrive' mode using a built-in appbrowser GUI to explore extensions from an online application extension repository loaded into RAM only for the current session.
  • TCE/Install — A mode for Tiny Core Extensions downloaded and run from a storage partition but kept as symbolic links in RAM.
  • TCE/CopyFS — A mode which installs applications onto a Linux partition like a more typical Linux installation.[7]

Tools to build open-vm-tools for TinyCoreLinux 6.4

The fast track building instructions

  1. Boot a system with tcl6.4 and least 1GB of RAM.
  2. Install tce package for git
  1. Clone git repository with building instructions and tools
  1. Prepare the tiny core machine for building the tools

This script will install additional tce packages and get the open-vm-tools tarball from github.

  1. Change user to root.
  1. Start build script./build-and-install.sh
  2. Good luck
  3. The build script will spit out two tinycore extensions:open-vm-tools.tczandopen-vm-tools-modules-KERNEL.tcz

Putting it al in one line

Tested with these versions

  • TinyCore : v6.4 i686http://www.tinycorelinux.com
  • open-vm-tools : 9.4.0-1208544http://open-vm-tools.sf.net
  • linux kernel : 3.16.6-tinycoreThe build script is kernel version independent and uses uname -rto find kernel header files

Build dependencies

Install vmware on ubuntu
  • git # To clone repository from github.com/lapawa/vmware-tools-on-tiny-core-linux
  • compiletc # this meta package pulls in a lot of necessary development tools
  • linux-kernel-sources-env # Installs the shell script /usr/local/bin/linux-kernel-sources-env.sh which will prepare kernel sources/headers
  • glibc_apps # /usr/bin/rpcgen is in this packet
  • squashfs-tools-4.x # Tools to build the .tcz file
  • glib2-dev #
  • libtirpc-dev # libary for remote procedure calls. The xdr_ datatype are define in there.
  • Xorg-7.7-dev
  • gtk2-dev # because of a missing parameter in lib/appUtil/Makefile.am file it is not possible to compile with X and without gtk2
  • libGL-dev # gtk2 and cairo expect these header files.
  • gtkmm-dev
  • fuse
