installing Tiny Core Linux 7.2 on Vmware ESXi virtual machine

The CorePlus iso is larger because it contains the installer, wireless drivers, and other things - they are not installed unless you check the box, so the resulting install will be as small as you want.
So in short: grab the CorePlus iso, start the installer from the bottom bar. Once there, please follow the install guide on our main home page if you have difficulties.
After installing, remove the CD from the VM.

thank you.
i have started downloding CorePlus from here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/downloads.html
but seems there is only x86 version. right ?
isn't there any x64 version for current 7.2 release ?
once downloaded i will test that in my virtual machine & will share the result here
regards
curaga:
No, there is no 64-bit installer currently. Converting a finished 32-bit install is quite doable, but does require manual steps.
Juanito:
..basically you do the 32-bit install and then:
* copy corepure64.gz and vmlinuz64 to the same folder as core.gz and vmlinuz
* edit the loader configuration file to point to corepure64.gz and vmlinuz64 instead of core.gz and vmlinuz
* reboot
Edit: (now I've got virtualbox going again after the windows 10 anniversary update killed it)
Copy corepure64.gz and vmlinuz64 to /mnt/sda1/tce/boot
The loader configuration file is at /mnt/sda ce/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

nice clear answer thanks.
so i downloaded TinyCorePlus7.2 iso file & started installation as is shown in my attachments screenshots.
but finally i end up with this error:
"src0 appears to have a partition already mounted. check if correct device, if so unmount it and then run installer again......"
seems i have to give up using TinyCoreLinux & forget it for ever. seems without learning Linux basics, we can't do even such simple installation.
i needed to install CorePlus inside a VM & install "open-VM-tools" on it & use it in my test labs as a simple VM to test network connectivity & vMotion and so on. i don't need to work inside it & learn the Linux itself.
i am too busy to start learning Linux only to achieve some simple need.
i am sorry if i offended Linux Guys here. perhaps better to use a simple windows 7 or 8 or 10 in my test lab instead of having to start learn Linux only for a such a simple installation.
good bye all
:'(
Juanito:
No screenshots were attached?
If you get the error "src0 appears to have a partition already mounted......" it is probably because you are trying to install to the cd/dvd drive (sr0 in linux-speak) rather than the vm hd (sda in linux-speak).
