Request:
Please consider adding 32-bit UEFI bootloader support (e.g., a 32-bit bootia32.efi alongside the 64-bit bootloader) to the x86_64 PorteuX images/ISOs.
Reason:
Many older Intel Atom devices (Bay Trail/Cherry Trail, e.g., with Z3735F) feature 32-bit UEFI firmware but fully support 64-bit kernels and OSes. Current x86_64 SliTaz images lack a 32-bit EFI stub, preventing boot on these systems in UEFI mode.
Benefit:
This change would significantly improve hardware compatibility for legacy-yet-capable devices, allowing lightweight PorteuX usage without needing separate 32-bit builds or compromising 64-bit performance. Other distros achieve this by including bootia32.efi in /EFI/BOOT/.
Thanks for considering!
