Installing TinyCore 8x Linux to the Hard Drive via Command Line

Most of this can be found here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/install_manual.html but I made this document for the following reasons: 1) Installation is incorrect (wrong files specified) 2) Installation instructions specific to VMware 3) using fdisk instead of installing and using cfdisk (smaller footprint) 4) Not running as root (Yes, I understand the security implications here are heavily mitigated) On a side note I also found some parts confusing (like the explaining of the hd0 nomenclature in grub) Prerequisites: - VM with IDE disk (NOT SCSI) - 1 CPU - 256 MB of RAM - 100MB of space You can install with SCSI, but the process is labour intensive, for that reason, I find it easier to use an IDE disk (But we can load the SCSI driver later, so we can still use it as a helper for other VM purposes!) 1) Download the ISO from the following location: http://www.tinycorelinux.net/8.x/x86/release/Core-current.iso 2) Upload the ISO to the ESXi host 3) ...

IPv4 and IPv6 Reception with rsyslog

Back in the day, when you wanted to change the default protocols rsyslog would listen on, you would modify the /etc/default/rsyslog file, and set the RSYSLOGD_OPTIONS variable accordingly. In rsyslog 8.x, this has changed, now, we control these parameters through the main rsyslog configuration file, and in within the global parameters. For instance, if we wanted to only listen on IPv6, then we would add the following lines to the main rsyslog configuration. # vi /etc/rsyslog.conf global(     net.ipprotocol="ipv4-only" ) Reference:  https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/rainerscript/global.html

[Solved] VMware Workstation 12 Copy and Paste with Ubuntu 16 open-vm-tools

I was trying to copy and paste from Ubuntu 16 and VMware workstation in Windows, and it didn't work. I generally SSH into the box using putty, so this usually isn't an issue, but today, I figured I may as well look into the issue. So, first I headed over to the vendor, where I found this KB: 2073803  which states: open-vm-tools-desktop package This optional package extends OVT with additional user-space programs and libraries to improve the interactive functionality of virtual machines. This package depends on X and therefore must be installed only when X is available. These features are enabled by this package: Enables resizing of the guest display to match host console window or the VMware Remote Console Window for vSphere Enables text copy and paste operation between host and guest UI (either direction) Enables drag and drop operation between guest and host (either direction) for the VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion products (not supported on vSphere)  ...
