I'm using VMWare and I made a Slitaz VM and I allocated 6GB Memory to it, but if I go to the task manager it only says 3GB.
Is there a limit? If so is there any way to bypass this Limit?

# tazpkg get-install linux64
Please elaborate.
Is Slitaz 32 bit?
Slitaz-4.0 is 32bit
The pre-5.0 cooking repo has a 64bit kernel that is experimental.
I decided to build a core iso using the 64bit kernel.
The iso page faults/kernel panics on both my 64bit computers after Loading /boot/rootfs.gz...
Another issue is there are no 64bit compiled binaries in the repo.
The fact that every other package in the iso is 32bit may be the reason for the kernel panic.
You don't want to install linux64
Well I guess i'll just wait for 5.0 then. Thanks
i am writing this post from slitaz 4.0 stable and a kernel compiled with pae enabled, works flawless and all ram is available
Agree - I did the same already a few months ago. PAE works just fine and uses 8GB RAM here.
How do you use PAE? I'm pretty new to Linux and Linux Distro's.
The user has to custom compile their kernel with specific PAE options.
Your CPU must have flags: PAE or it can't boot the PAE kernel.
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep pae
The most memory any of my computers have is 2 gigs, only 2 are capable of booting a PAE or 64 bit kernel so it's not something I care about. Another user will have to provide the instructions or post the kernel.
I had noticed these posts that can help:
No time these last weeks and probably the next to come to work on SliTaz but I hope to compile a kernel with PAE as soon as I can to test it on my lifebook (8 MB).
EDIT : 8 GB of course... :-/
where should the kernel be posted ? I may post mine, sometime next week, if it helps someone.
