Question Question regarding Tiny Core Linux


There does not seem to be a sub-forum for Tiny Core Linux only for Damn Small Linux which has been retired, so I am placing my question here:

When you boot Tiny Core Linux from a Live CD (RAM-only mode), is it possible to change the password of the root user and create an additional non-root user with a custom password via boot options?

You would likely have to remaster it, not particularly hard, if it has that option, (it's been a while since I've done anything with it, though I do keep a copy around).

Take a look here - http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=22271.0

Quote:
Try the exceptional all in one tool: "ezremaster.tcz" using the "inside initrd" option.
and also "core-remaster.tcz" extension for a quick unpack, modify and repack of core.tz
