This is the instruction file for a custom dCore Linux based project, which includes an i3 desktop, wifi, the Falkon Web Browser, Leafpad, and PCManFM file manager, as well as several scripts to make updating and adding software easier. It boots 64bit by default for better hardware support, but can also be booted from a 32 bit kernel, with all applications and changes duplicated.

#####BASIC INSTRUCTIONS#####
You can use the mouse, but to start programs, you need to use keyboard shortcuts as described below in KEYBOARD CONTROLS, or use dmenu(windows key + d button) as described below in COMMANDS.

Save any files you want to keep in /home/tc/files/.

Wifi/Ethernet/Phone Tethering and Volume are at the bottom right corner.

For Wifi, click the network icon at the bottom right corner, click refresh, click on Properties for your network, select the encryption for your network, (usually WPA1/2 passphrase,) and enter your password, and click OK. You should now be able to connect to the network.

For Ethernet or phone tethering, click Preferences and change wired interface to eth0 for ethernet, or usb0 to use your phone's wifi through USB. Be sure to turn on tethering on your phone.
