I wish there was a simple installer...

[2fzweb]

@MustacheVerra yah, me too. but tiny core are crazily small they'll never include gui installer. I'm in the way of creating one, either to be using GTK2+, but the size are being 35 MB, just because the gtk2+ libs.. :|

I cheated back when I tried using it. I used a puppy520 live CD and opened the .iso and copied everything to an Ext3 partition and added it to GRUB. Loaded it up then took awhile setting it up. I don't advise my way though. Took me a long time to figure out how to get it to save the changes as I was new to linux then.
