vmware player on tinycore
« on: June 12, 2011, 01:35:08 PM »
I want to know the following:
1.how to make a 64 bit tinycore iso
2. how to install vmware player
3. does tinycore have multicore support and can i dedicate multiple cores to vms in vmware player?

My intended setup is decent and i would think tinycore will work but if not ill use a different OS for this.
AMD Phenom II x6 1090T BE
ECS A80GXM-A v2.0
8 GB DDR3 1333
Older drives, STAT2 WD 250GB HDD,some old SATA dvd burner.
integrated graphics and some old crt monitors unless i go buy a flat screen.

I plan on running VMs in vmware player on top of a tinycore (much more convenient than a multiboot configuration) and of course I would need a 64 bit tinycore to use all 8GB of RAM. I have been trying to make a 64 bit tinycore and install vmware but haven't succeeded on either task. Ive been at it for a while now and decided to ask for help, would be grateful for any help received.

I am having trouble figuring most of this stuff out being primarily a windows user but windows just uses to much ram, HDD space, processing power, etc. to do this with a tolerable performance drop.

I don't think I forgot anything and would be grateful for any help given.

there is no tinycore64.gz only microcore currently has a microcore64.gz. I was able to get a 64bit microcore running but I need a gui. If someone could tell me how to get a gui in microcore x64 than my first question will be solved, leaving two more. thanks anyway.

Hi blazorthon

You need to replace the bzImage file in Tinycore with the bzImage64 file.
