[Solved] Creating 64-bit TC iso
Det:
So how would I do this with the tinycore64.gz and bzImage64?
Will it be as easy as to just:
* 1) mount the v3 alpha 3 iso
* 2) copy the contents to some place else
* 3) replace the tinycore.gz and bzImage with the 64-bit ones and
* 4) create an iso image of this one
* (5) then dd to a partition/set grub or burn to CD)
- Oh, and thanks 8)

Yes, nothing more complicated than that.
Do note that Xvesa doesn't work on 64 bits; it's Xorg or text mode.
maro:
That looks about right (mind you I have not tried it).
One thing I'm not clear is how you deal with the fact that 'bzImage64' is a different name than 'bzImage' (and likewise 'tinycore64.gz' is not 'tinycore.gz'). You could rename the copied files, but that would be IMHO a bad idea since you loose the ability to distinguish between the 32-bit vs. the 64-bit ISO image. So a change in the boot loader configuration (e.g. '/boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg) would be required.
Furthermore I'm not sure what you try to achieve with "then dd to a partition/set grub". An ISO image should not be "cloned" to a hard disk, there are many reasons why that would not work. I assume you mean to use the files from the '/boot' directory of this 64-bit ISO image when following the installation instructions.
curaga:
grub4dos can boot iso images, and an isohybrid (part of syslinux) handled iso image can be dd'd to a disk, usually an usb one. At least these come to my mind at first for the mentioned things.
Det:
Jesus, I thought this process in the way that I would clone the "setup" to the partition instead of actually just installing it there.
But a question came to my mind which is that what is the difference between genisoimage, mkisofs, mkhybrid and isohybrid?
Which I guess would be a question of: what is the difference between iso image and a hybrid?
