手动安装Tiny Core Linux

我之前自己试验时，用CorePlus(即最大的那个70+MB的)中得图形化安装选择Text Only，安装出来虚拟机硬盘占了33M！我就纳闷了，应该9M左右才对啊！

TC官网上的Install guide和Older的都是图形化的。我下载了9MB的Core后，进去连/mnt/sr0下的boot都没有！！！

找了好多资料，终于找到一个非常详尽的。感谢这位老外！

Setup ultra fast development test box using one of the smallest linux distro. Tiny Core Microcore install with OpenSSH will allow you to manage it from your local machine. With minimal footprint of this distribution you can concentrate on your development needs and eliminate unnecessary operating system resources hog.


Note that before you continue with this tutorial it’s recommended that you know some basics of Linux and are comfortable with using only terminal interface.

Lets start by downloading distribution image file.

#1: Download Core ISO

Tiny Core download page

Select just Core (8Mb)

Create bootable USB, CD or like me use visualization. Im using 500MB disk 1 core CPU and 500 MB of RAM. Definitely overkill for what Microcore is but we want to have some room to play with later for testing purposes.

#2: Boot

When booting you dont need to change any settings, just hit enter and let it load. If everything went fine you will land as user tc inside /home/tc

#3: Prepare disk

First you need your hard drive to be partitioned and formatted. Type fdisk -l to list your disks.

1

fdisk - l

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

fdisk - l Disk / dev / sda : 536.8 GB , 536870923000 bytes 255 heads , 63 sectors / track , 65270 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes   Disk / dev / sda doesn' t contain a valid partition table < br >

My disk is /dev/sda so just add that to fdisk command and you can edit partitions. Im going to use just 1 partition without swap for this demonstration. You can add boot and swap partitions as you would normally do in Linux installations. Check how to turn swap partition in Tiny Core tutorial. Note that we must use sudo command to be able to write to disks.

1	sudo fdisk / dev / sda

Type n to create new partition, then type p for primary. Press 1, then hit [enter] for First cylinder then for last cylinder type +500M
Next we have to add partition type. Press t. Partition 1 will be automatically selected because we dont have anything else, then enter 83. Thats the code for Linux Partition.
Lastly press w to write changes to disk and exit.

Lets create ext3 type filesystem on our new partition. You can see witch one by typing fdisk -l again.

1	sudo mkfs .ext3 / dev / sda1

#4: Copy kernel and image

Create directory in /mnt/sda1

1	sudo mkdir / mnt / sda1"

Mount /dev/sda1 to that directory

1	sudo mount / dev / sda1 / mnt / sda1

Create boot directory in /mnt/sda1

1	sudo mkdir - p / mnt / sda1 / boot / grub

Mount your USB/CD media with Tiny Core. In my case its device sr0 and I already have directory created under /mnt

1	sudo mount / dev / sr0 / mnt / sr0

Copy core.gz and vmlinuz to our hard drive

1	sudo cp core .gz vmlinuz / mnt / sda1 / boot /

#5: Download GRUB tce extension

You must be connected physically to network. Assuming you are lets start extension browser:

1

tce - ab

Press s for search and type grub and hit enter. We will need grub-0.97-splash.tcz. In my case its 1. so hit 1, then q and i to install that extension on your filesystem. After download is done press q.

Now we need to copy grub files to our hard drive

1	cp / tmp / tcloop / grub - 0.97 - splash / usr / lib / grub / i386 - pc / * / mnt / sda1 / boot / grub

#6: Configure and install GRUB

We have to create menu.lst file inside /boot/grub on our hard drive.

1	sudo vi / mnt / sda1 / boot / grub / menu .lst

1 2 3 4 5 6

default 0 timeout 5 title Microcore Linux root ( hd0 , 0 ) kernel / boot / vmlinuz quiet initrd / boot / core .gz

Save and quit :wq

Installing GRUB from this point is simple just type

1

sudo grub

Inside GRUB select root by typing root and partition number. In our case its very basic:

1 2 3 4 5

grub > root ( hd0 , 0 ) Filesystem type is ext2fs , partition type 0x83   grub > setup ( hd0 ) grub > quit

Add one more directory so after reboot we can save our tce extensions.

1 2	sudo mkdir / mnt / sda1 / tce < br > sudo touch / mnt / sda1 / tce / mydata .tgz

If everything went fine you should be able to reboot the machine and boot inside Microcore without media. Lets unmount our disk and do first reboot.

1 2 3

cd / < br > sudo umount / dev / sda1 < br > sudo reboot

至此TC linux安装结束。

关键是！我发现硬盘还是占了33MB！！！！可能各种解压，安装后就是这么大吧。不要太贪心，已经很小了。

笔者后面的部分也正是我需要的——如何在Text Based system下安装ssh

#7: Tiny Core Microcore with OpenSSH

Lets install OpenSSH the same way we did GRUB.

1

tce - ab

Press s then type openssh and select 1. Press q then i for install. After fetching and installation press q.

Copy default server configuration file

1	sudo cp / usr / local / etc / ssh / sshd_config .example / usr / local / etc / ssh / sshd_config

Start sshd deamon

1	sudo / usr / local / etc / init .d / openssh start

For the first time server will generate public and private keypairs and it will take few seconds. To make configuration persistent we have to edit /opt/.filetool.lst

1	sudo vi / opt / .filetool .lst

1 2 3

/ usr / local / etc / ssh / etc / passwd / etc / shadow

Edit your hostname on boot time in /opt/bootsync.sh

1	sudo vi / opt / bootsync .sh

1	/ usr / bin / sethostname phobos

Add sshd to startup script /opt/bootlocal.sh

1	sudo vi / opt / bootlocal .sh

1	/ usr / local / etc / init .d / openssh start

Create password for you user tc

1 2 3 4

passwd New password : Retype password : Password for tc changed by tc

Finally save backup

1	sudo filetool .sh - b

1 2 3

sudo filetool .sh - b Backing up files to / mtn / sda1 / tce / mydata .tgz < br >

#8: Microcore OpenSSH connection test

Find out your IP

1 2	ifconfig eth0 | grep inet inet addr : 10.10.0.16 Bcast : 10.10.0.255 Mastk : 255.255.255.0

Tiny Core Microcore install complete.
