TCE Q&A Forum / Re: Why are tinycore64 tcz files in the 32bit tcz mirror download folder
« Last post by Rich on February 21, 2026, 10:21:25 PM »
Hi jackk
Welcome to the forum.

It allows you to run 32 bit programs under a 64 bit kernel.
Instead of using core.gz for an initrd, you would create a core64.gz like this:
Code: [Select]
cat rootfs.gz modules64.gz > core64.gzand then boot vmlinuz64 along with core64.gz.

This gives you a kernel that can manage a large amount of RAM and
allocate up to 4 Gig of RAM to each 32 bit program you are running.

When loading an extension that requires kernel modules, the tinycore64
version will be used instead.

You can not run 64 bit programs in this type of environment.

TCE Q&A Forum / Why are tinycore64 tcz files in the 32bit tcz mirror download folder

I see some tinycore64 tcz files in the 32bit mirror download folder and don't understand why they are there. The folder typically has the 32bit version of the the software when it has the 64 bit version. It seems too frequent to be a mistake. I am looking at the 17.x collection. I am undertaking sustained learning project to get familiar with Tiny Core and admit to being puzzled by this feature.

TCE Q&A Forum / Re: is XFE working with smb?
« Last post by nick65go on February 21, 2026, 02:59:33 PM »
FYI: 08/02/2026 - Version 2.1.4 released, http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/
You can ignore my previous post, because only in "18/05/2025 - Version 2.1 released" it has " Xfe can connect to Windows shares and SSH servers. Use Tools / Connect to Server or press Shift-F5 and fill your network parameters into the dialog.";

but TC17 has only "Current: 2024/09/28 updated 1.45 -> 1.46.2". Sorry for the noise.

TCE Q&A Forum / is XFE working with smb?
« Last post by nick65go on February 21, 2026, 02:10:19 PM »
Hi, is XFE (the X File Manager) working with "windows shared folders"?
I tried xfe (ver. 2.1.1. from Debian x86-64) into Archlinux (basically in CachyOS x86-64-v3).  But also xfe (ver 2.1.1 from Alpine Linux) into a chroot. I installed all packages (and automatic dependencies).
Code: [Select]
apk add xfe gvfs-fullIn both cases, even running XFE as root user, I can not manage to connect to a "windows folder" /smb (shared from Windows11). From menu "Tools", "Connect to Servers" I chose the correct values (for Server=192.168.5.200, Type=Windows share (drop-down), Share=TMP, Username=test, Passowd=..". (All were proved correctly connecting in KDE just by typing in Dolphin (file manager) the URL as "smb://test@192.168.5.200/TMP").

The error message was "gio: smb://; test@192.168.5.200/TMP/: volume doesn't implement mount". Could you confirm that in your TC (latest version ??) is working correctly, without any eventual dbus / whatever manually started?  Thank you.

Hello forum,

I use "firefox_getLatest.sh"  extension in tinycore 64 to get firefox...

How do I tell it to fetch the latest nightly build?

It has options for ESR..... Etc ... But " nightly" is not mentioned as a fetch option

Thx
