I want tinycore not to interfere with mint so I ask if persistent home can overwrite some mint file. Run this command in terminal and click icon on desktop to start installation.I am going to put tinycore along with linux mint on sda1 hard disk. Select and boot “grub” and it boots into Ubuntu 11.04 live system.

I installed Windows 7 into C:, and planned to install Ubuntu 11.04 using the iso without burning a disk. Now I only have a Windows 7 LiveCD and Ubuntu 11.04 iso image (stored in a ntfs partition). iso image and manage to boot into live-system via current running system’s boot loader, and finally start installation while I’m in the live-system.
