General TC > Tiny Core on Virtual Machines
software wanted: vmware player and/or virtualbox

Hallo Arslan S.,
thank you for your advice. But python was already loaded, because it was necessary to compile VirtualBox. So I tried your second command . But after "sudo VirtualBox" i received the same message as before (see my last post yesterday).In tinycore3.0 (32-bit) no such problem.
So I am waiting for a new advice.
ricky:
I think the problem is, that I need linux-headers-2.6.33.3-tinycore64.tcz too.
Is there a prospect to get that extension sooner or later ?

Hallo Arslan S.,
I asked, the VirtualBox guys said 64 bit kernel modules+32 virtualBox apps combination not working unfortunately, so I think I can choose two different solution:
1. I switch back completly to 32 bit TC (this way I will lost the modern Core* CPUs 64 bit performance, but this way still I get very small host OS footprint & easy TC build/remaster)
2. I switch to completly to 64 bit TC (this way I have to build 64 bit libs+apps, this way I get not just very small footprint, but good performance also, though this will lot of not easy work)
So is there any plan to build a 64 bit TC completely?
If not, would be good some help how I can build it...
Maybe either way have to decide the future of TC:
1. support only older machine (but exist the 64 bit CPUs already several years)
2. support also a modern 64 bit CPU-s possibility (need more complicated repository & it's handling)

hi guys!
nice discussion that evolved around here in my thread!
thank you for your efforts - i think it would be great having a small-footprint-OS like TCL - so one is able to easily kick-start VMs without having a blown up host-OS...
i would love to see a stable release for the TCL-app-manager - please keep up the good work...

i am not the official here but i know that 64 bit apps are not accepted to the repository, for a complete 64 bit tc we need a completely different repository
also 32 bit vbox is the easiest way, i don't think the performance or other gains from 64 bit vbox will be worth all the efforts
if you really need vbox 64 bit i recommend arch linux
