tiny:
 I have an acer aspire laptop (its 64 bit) and can any one help me on how to install tiny core linux in it, and for some reason, the tutorials are confusing I will really be happy if anyone can help me out. ;)

Guy:
Do you have Windows on your laptop already?

Do you want to keep Windows, as well as installing Tiny Core?

Do you want to install any other operating systems as well? If so which?


Assuming you have Windows, and want to keep it:

Run Windows. Log in as Administrator. Reduce the size of one (or two) of the existing partitions, so you can create a partition to install Tiny Core.

Create an Ext 3 partition, and a swap partition, in the free space you created. If you are not sure about partitioning, download Parted Magic and use it for partitioning.

Follow one of these guides:

There are many other options. For example, you can install Tiny Core on a usb drive, instead of the hard drive. The easiest way is to use HD/USB Install, in the control panel.

If people don't have a cd drive, the process is different again.


Let us know more specifically what you want to do.

Juanito:
Are you asking how to install the 64-bit version of tc?

If so, copy bzImage64 and microcore64 or tinycore64 to the same location as their 32-bit counterparts, add a section referencing bzImage64 and microcore64 or tinycore64 to your boot loader and off you go.

Note that Xvesa will not work with the 64-bit version of tc, so you'll need to use Xorg-7.5.

tiny:
no, I only have linux in my laptop, and It does not matter if I wipe out my partitions.

Guy:
Follow one of the installation guides above.

Are you able to download Tiny Core, write it to a cd, and run it from the cd on your laptop?

Are you able to connect your laptop to the internet, while running Tiny Core from the cd? You need a broadband internet connection.
