My understanding is that micro-core is a cli only fork of Tiny Core ,which already comes with a Desktop. If that it what you mean.

Not a duplicate of another really common operating system. Tiny Core doesn't have a pretty boot screen, or stock wallpapers

You can theoretically
load up any Desktop to Tiny Core or Micro Core

A GUI Desktop. Tiny Core has a flexible and fully-customizable Graphical User Interface Desktop. Mouse, keyboard, and screen support basically works out-of-the-box thanks to FLWM, the FLTK Desktop. You can also quickly install and try out a variety of other desktops and interfaces including Fluxbox, XFCE, OpenBox, IceWM, Joe's WM, LXDE, and others.

and Customize it to your needs (changes should be in /home.)

Remastersys sounds like what you are looking to do.

Tiny Core is not a fork of DSL. It has a completely different base and is neither Debian nor KNOPPIX based. Tiny Core is also not a remaster of SliTaz, but was made based on the new capabilities of the 2.6 kernel together with the features that BusyBox provided. Although it is small (10 MB), Tiny Core is not targeted at any particular era of hardware. It is unfair to say that because of Tiny Core's size it must be for older hardware. It may be said that Tiny Core is for advanced users. But I have tried hard to present an easy-to-use interface to add applications, modules, and libraries.

So remastersys will have to be from Remastering : Tiny Core Linux

That is all I know from googling on the subject. Really can't help much more.

Good luck with it, Rok

Tiny core E17 search

Just for grins. I also run

Macpup: A beautiful derivative of Puppy Linux


Which is light on resources like Tiny Core . System requirements may be more than you have (since I don't know what your specs are).

Should boot up and run on P2 with 256MB of ram comfortably though (with a 512MB swap partition)

Don't sweat the spelling or English. I am a uncouth uneducated Neanderthal Tattooed Biker and understand you just fine.

thank you roky i wasent sure macrpup wood work on a pentium 3 with 256mb
ov ram i dident know what the minimum specs wer so ill giv that a try.
last time it didnt want to work but who knows maybe it will this time

If 4.31 does not boot for you work your way down to 4.12 and if that does not boot try 4.00 Dingo. I run Dingo on my IBM A22m Laptop Pentium 3 256MB ram and dualboot with AntiX 8.5

Which runs real well with a 700MB swap Partition I made and runs wireless with a Belkin F5D 7010 ver.6 Wireless G PCMCIA Cardbus.
AntiX comes stock with Debian Testing repositories and I know of AntiX members who run CLI Desktops on P1 i486 computers with only 92 MB of ram.

The newer kernels in the 5 series of Puppy Linux don't play well with older gear sometimes. That was why I had to go with a Dingo version on my IBM A22m.

Murga forums is chock full of posts with people with older gear who can't boot the newer Puppy 5.1 and 5.2. They are usually recommended to try a older release. What is nice is there of tons of puplets in the wild. So lots of choices for all kinds of hardware.
