There is no tinycore64.
If you want the 64 bit kernel for the 32 bit userspace, just replace vmlinuz with vmlinuz64.

If you want tinycorepure64, it is in the downloads section.  Burn the ISO do a CD, boot it and run the installer.

Please read the corebook  http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html

Howto install tinycore64 ?

Install to where, what media? Installation method depends on installation target.

sorry for bugging around but if i load the "TinyCorePure64-5.3.iso" i am not finding the installer for tc.


so i loaded the CorePlus-current.iso, from there i installed TC with the "tc-install" to the hard drive, then i turned off the Virtual Machine and replacing core.gz with corepure64.gz and vmlinuz with vmlinuz64 and also modified the , i believe the file was called extlinux.conf" to use the "64" bit version to start

uname -a
Linux box 3.8.13-tinycore64 #777

Be sure to empty the tce dirrectory or use a different tce directory, such as tce64.

is this the right way to install TC64 what i did as written above, cause now the filetool.sh -b doesnt work the mydata.tgz is 0 bytes after running filetool.sh -b

tc@box:filetool.sh -b
Backing up files to /mnt/xvda1/tce/mydata.tgz

Besides the kernel and initrd you also need to replace extensions...

Code: [Select]

/mnt/xvda1/tce/optional/
... and ...

Code: [Select]

/mnt/xvda1/tce/onboot.lst

if i understand this right, then i do a normal tc-install to the harddisk without any extensions, creating a second folder called tce64 and also change the extlinux.conf to home=xvda1 opt=xvda1 .. right ? ok i did this allready

/mnt/xvda1/tce/onboot.lst


where i have to place this ?

and this is my /boot/extlinux.conf

Code: [Select]

Default Core
Label Core
Kernel /tce64/boot/vmlinuz64 tce64=xvda1 opt=xvda1 home=xvda1
Append initrd=/tce64/boot/corepure64.gz quiet waitusb=5:UUID="SomeValues" tce64:UUID="SomeValues"
thank you very much

You don't 'need' a tce64 dir but it helps identifying it and you could have a 32bit install at the same time.

Code: [Select]

tce=UUID="SomeValues"/tce64

Up to you of course, but I'd be tempted to put corepure.gz, corepure64.gz, vmlinuz and vmlinuz64 in (for example) /mnt/sda1/boot, the 32-bit extensions in /mnt/sda1/tce and the 64-bit extensions in /mnt/sda1/tce64

You would then use the tce=UUID="SomeValues"/tce64 boot code to select the 64-bit extensions

That's exactly the way I multi-boot architectures, works perfectly  8)

I have

Code: [Select]

/mnt/sdXY/tce-5.x/boot/vmlinuz
/mnt/sdXY/tce-5.x/boot/core.gz
/mnt/sdXY/tce-5.x/boot/more.gz
/mnt/sdXY/tce-5.x/onboot.lst
/mnt/sdXY/tce-5.x/optional/*.tcz

Any reason not to put it into tce-dir (boot sub-dir) ?

Just a question of which you prefer.
