Hello Eve-NG Team,

first of all i want to thank you for this a great Software/Tool...what ever....
really awesome, great job....

Here is my problem with TinyCore.
I searched for a small desktop PC with a web browser, so I decided to use TinyCore.
I had setup TinyCore in Vmware Workstation and converted the disk.
But when I start the TinyCore Desktop with the default Linux Template, the desktop is not loaded.
I'm also not able to start the Desktop with the "startx" command and always get the error "failed wait forX".

The default template looks like this:
$ p ['qemu_options'] = '-machine type = pc-1.0, accel = kvm -cpu host -usb -vga vmware -usbdevice tablet -boot order = c';

But when i edit the default template as shown below the Desktop is loaded normally like in vmware workstation.
template edited:
$ p ['qemu_options'] = '-enable -kvm -cpu host -usb -vga vmware -usbdevice tablet -boot order = c';

What is the difference between "-machine type = pc-1.0, accel = kvm" and "-enable-kvm"?
Does this setup impact performance?
Is there another configuration, without -enable-kvm, were the desktop is loaded automatically?

kind regards
Mathias

for those who also wants to use TinyCore here is the setting TinyCore is running with.
$p['qemu_options'] = '-machine type=pc,accel=kvm -cpu host -usb -vga vmware -usbdevice tablet -boot order=c';
