====== How to install a TinyCore Linux System for QemuNet? ======

TinyCore (http://tinycorelinux.net) is a unique and minimalist distribution of the Linux operating system and tools. It is very small, just 10MB for the Core base system!

<code bash>
# download iso 
wget http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/x86/release/Core-current.iso

# create a disk image for your VM (100M)
qemu-img create core.img 100M

# boot system from cdrom
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -hda core.img -cdrom Core-current.iso -boot d -m 256
</code>

Once the Core system is loaded from cdrom, you can follow this [[http://brezular.com/2013/10/03/linux-core-5-x-installation-on-qemu-image-using-installation-script | tutorial]] to install the system on the disk image //core.img//.  In brief, download install script and launch it...

<code bash>
tce-load -wi tc-install
sudo /usr/local/bin/tc-install.sh
</code>

Then, follow instructions and select:
  * install from CDROM
  * frugal hard drive installation
  * on the whole disk (sda)
  * install boot loader (yes)
  * formatting in ext4

Now you can halt the system and restart it from the disk image:

<code bash>
# boot system from disk
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -hda core.img -m 256

# install azerty/fr keyboard
tce-load -wi kmaps
sudo loadkmap < /usr/share/kmap/azerty/fr-latin9.kmap

# install text editor (nano)
tce-load -wi nano
</code>

To set azerty/fr keyboard permanently, edit /mnt/sda1/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf and set "kmap=azerty/fr-latin9" option on the APPEND line. Don't work???
