License? There is no new code in it except few shell oneliners :-) Let's say MIT License. btw. you can extend it with any tinyCore package. You can simply mount the package file to the loopback device under squashfs and copy it to the system root directory. mount -o loop -t squashfs pci-utils.tcz outputDirectory So you can easily build for example a small image with Chromium etc. Cheers, -- Pavel On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 2:31 PM, S Krish <krishnamachari.sudhakar@gmail.com> wrote:
Cool stuff, simple, zipping fast to boot and get to Pharo.. An exciting playground to build up Pharo tools for everything to make Pharo the GUI for the tinycore with: * Run this with VirtualBox.. Â build out everything that is needed and push it back as embedded to a device..!.. headless / or headful as reqd. What will be the license on this..? Though components are open source.. Obliged if Pavel can comment..

Hi,
I tried to prepare a bootable Pharo ISO image based on Tiny Core Linux. Namely on MicroCore (kernel 3.0.3) that was extended with WiFi support. There is standard Pharo 1.3 image with OSProcess and CommandShell installed on the Smalltalk side. The resultant image has about 37 MB.
Download: http://www.windmap.cz/playground/pharo/pharo.iso
If you want to add it directly to your Grub menu, you may do it without need of extra partition. To the grub.conf add something like:
title Pharo    root (hd0,1)    kernel /boot/pharo/vmlinuz vga=791 quiet    initrd /boot/pharo/tinycore.gz
where vmlinuz and tinycore.gz are the only files needed from the ISO image.
Remastering:
unpack: zcat tinycore.gz | sudo cpio -i -H newc -d
pack: find | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -2 > ../tinycore.gz
better compression: advdef -z4 tinycore.gz
create ISO (you need unpacked original ISO image): /bin/cp -pfr tinycore.gz boot mkdir -p newiso /bin/cp -pfr  boot newiso mkisofs -l -J -R -V TC-custom -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -o pharo.iso newiso
