Download links for x86 Pure 64 ...

[I'm new to this forum, so please forgive me if this is not the right place for reporting these problems and point me to the right one, thanks.]

... need to be adjusted. On http://tinycorelinux.net/ports.html they point to 4.x and 5.x.

The same old 5.x is the 6.x's linux-kernel-sources-env.sh (tcz). Also, this script looks for mod_core=Module.symvers-${kerver}-tinycore in the 6.x tree, but there is only a file with extension .gz. On the other hand, there is no corresponding kernel subdirectory in 6.x/x86_64/release/src/ which - as far as I understand - is needed. (Anyway, isn't there a simpler way to compile kernel modules rather than copying and patching the kernel sources?)

Thanks - the ports page was adjusted a couple of days back and looks OK to me?

There's no corresponding kernel subdirectory in 6.x/x86_64/release/src/, but the 64-bit stuff is in 6.x/x86/release/src/kernel.

The patched kernel source is available (linux-3.16.6-patched.txz) or is that not what was meant?

[emmi]

On http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/ports.html the links are still wrong.

To compile a kernel module I don't think one needs the full and patched kernel sources, but I can't find anything in the TCZ directory related to compiling kernel modules.

Mirrors may take a day or few to refresh.

Ah, you mean the equivalent of the linux-headers-3.0.21-tinycore extension - you'll need to pm the maintainer for that...
