Hi Alex,

I am sure everyone is getting this "warning" message on their consoles.
Most people are probably running headless or have jivelite loaded so
they don't see the warning. It is just a warning I haven't seen a
problem. I would not worry about it if I was you, but if you would like
to proceed see my further comments.

Remember, the bootcodes web page is "beta". You may have to end up using
vi to fix cmdline.txt (BTW: there is a backup created)

getlocale is not currently available in latest versions of piCore, but I
did read somewhere that it is only a script so any so any version
possible could be used. Downloading from other repositories is a manual
process. The getlocale extension also has 3 or 4 dependencies... that
may or may not be available. Downloading from other repositories is a
manual process.
For seeing "available" extensions and downloading them, on the [Main
Page] in [Beta] mode, select [Extensions].

You don't really need to do anything. This warning is only for
piCorePlayer's with LMS installed so you should only see the message on
one RPi.

See Tiny Core forum for more information. Warning: There are lots of
versions of Tiny Core and not all extensions are available. We usually
use the latest piCore, often a beta or release candidate, so by
definition they have the fewest number of extensions available.
