How to update Tiny Core Linux from version 17.0 to 17.1

I am running only the Core base system, so these instructions cover only that.

  1. First, run getMirror. This will populate $MIRROR system variable. 

  2. Now, you have to update optional kernel modules, if you have any - I don't:
    cd /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/optional
    for File in *\-6.18.2\-*.tcz*; do wget $MIRROR/${File/\-6.18.2\-/\-6.18.35\-}; done

  3. Download updated vmlinuz and core.gz files from:
    http://www.tinycorelinux.net/17.x/x86/release/distribution_files/

    Replace with them existing files in the boot directory. In my case, it is:
    /mnt/sda3/tce/boot

  4. Reboot the system and that's it!
