   hey

   i don't know if i'm wrong, but when i try to install slitaz 5 64bits, on a logical partition, i just can't boot because grub cant find kernel or something..

   but works on rc5 32b

   There has been a problem with tazinst not copying the 64 bit kernel from the source to the install partition.
   http://hg.slitaz.org/tazinst/rev/3b7bb383a54b

   Complete the install by booting into the live cd,mount the install partition.
   Check install partition /boot for kernel,if needed loop mount the iso,copy the kernel to /boot.
   Check grub configuration,edit if necessary.

   thanks, it works.

   tried to install dual boot on logical partitions with slitaz 5 x64 and slitaz 3 x32 :

   the error come back if slitaz 3 is installed after slitaz 5.
   if slitaz 5 is installed after slitaz 3, the grub version from slitaz 5 avoid the error message (vmlinuz not found..) and everything works.

   just edit your /boot/grub/menu.list to add your OSes

   i got to say, the same version of opera in x64 works fine on fedora 64

   i thought the problem might comes from slitaz :x

   The only part of slitaz-64 that is 64-bit is the kernel and modules.
   Don't install 64-bit software, it won't run.
   User space filesystem libraries and programs are 32-bit.
   Opera-12.16.1860 32-bit runs while booted into 3.2.54-slitaz64 kernel

   Ref:

   It is a live cd (based on base flavor) with a 64 bits kernel and a fully featured 64 bits environment (no desktop). You can download it on https://googledrive.com/host/0B7R739rLD0ezWFJyOTFEM1pGa0U/iso/slitaz-rolling-base64.iso.

   x64, nothing or everything?

    According to the name of the ISO file, seems it is a Base flavor.
    And, really, Base flavor don't contains Desktop environment. It means that you can use only full power of the linux console, and not able to run any Xorg, GTK+, or Qt-based applications.

    hello

    a little news about slitaz x64 :

    i'm trying to install vbox ose :
    tazpkg get-install virtualbox-ose on slitaz5rc2x32 works fine, virtual machine boots up

    trying the same on slitaz5x64:
    tazpkg get-install virtualbox-ose on slitaz5rc2x64 (rolling)

    output:
    "virtualbox-ose" (4.2.6) is installed.

    root@slitaz:/home/tux# exit
    tux@slitaz:~$ virtualbox &
    tux@slitaz:~$ modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
    WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no
    module
    available for the current kernel (3.2.53-slitaz64) or it failed
    to
    load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

    sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

    You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

    tux@slitaz:~$

    nothing in /etc/init.d/ kind of VBoxsetup or vboxdrv

    what can i do ? i need virtualisation

    thank you

    For VirtualBox you can try:
    - Re-cook it.

    - Find how to recompile modules only. Try "tazpkg convert" something of this.
    https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=VirtualBox+dkms

    - Install proprietary get-virtualbox (or from its website)

    For Skype you need pulseaudio.
