does 0704 work on amd 64?

[deepsin]

In the past I have had issues in installing linuxmce on my amd 64. So just wanted to know before I fire it up again?

Thanks and Regards

I believe that's one of the goals of 710..

I may be wrong..

[colinjones]

Do you mean, does it run at all on AMD64 CPUs? Yes, in 32bit mode for 0704. And as Dan says, under 0710, there will be a native 64bit version.

Thanks for clarifying that..

I wasn't sure if it was just the MD's in 64bit, or the whole thing (CPU supported of course)

I've got a couple Core2Duo Servers just aching for 64bit support...

Perfect setups for High Power MD's...

Yes I can confirm that LinuxMCE-0704 runs fine on AMD64 processors... All our Cores use them in fact.

Under LinuxMCE-0710 you will have the option of 32bit & 64bit installs. You will even have the possibility to mix the two in a single system ie 32bit Core with 64bit MD's (and vice-versa too). We are testing this type of config now.

Sweet!  I've got my Fiire Station, (amd) and 2 Core2Duo's (intel) to play with

I wonder if the fiire Stations will get any kind of update/upgrade...

Thanks ddamron and totallymaxed.

I will probably wait for 710.

BTW is there anything I can do to assist you guys?

Thanks

Sure!  Get Involved!  Jump in somewhere where you think you can help...
fix a wiki, update a wiki, expand a wiki...
If your a programmer, read some wikis, read some source....

Hell, you can SPELL CHECK WIKIS!
lol

Dan

Hey Dan,
Yes I am a programmer and would love to see if I can help... Surely I can start by fixing spell checking the wiki... but would love to get this to work on my amd64 box, since the platform I am trying to get this to work, is used by quite some people who would love to give linuxmce a try...

If you can or someone else can help me a bit to ramp up it would be great...

Thanks and Regards

Why don't you download a 0710b2 beta image, install it on your HW, and just play around with it? Then report bugs in Mantis. If you feel like fixing a bug that's neglected, you can try that once you know what's going on. That's what we're all doing, and that's what's making a releasable 0710 come at the pace it is (mostly the committing developers, but everyone can help somehow).

The only reason, I didn't do this was because I read a thread which mentioned something about the iso size being larger then 4GB so it wouldn't come on a standard DVD. If thats not the case I would love to give it a try, as I don't have a dual layer DVD writer...

If you or someone can point me to an image that can be written to a standard DVD, I would love to give it a shot.

Thanks in advance..

There's an image available by bittorrent, and one HTTP download in 3 parts. But  it's 5.5GB, too big for a single-layer DVD. It might fit and work with one large file (either the AMD or Intel MD PXE boot image) and a little extra "extras" removed, but I don't know. I you want to try it, you can search these forums for the 0704 beta "torrent" link or the HTTP mirror. Or, if you have grub configuration expertise, you can help me solve the problem I'm having in booting from the DVD ISO file, and we can both do some testing.

Matthew,
I have some experiance with grub.. but not sure if I can help. I have replied to your thread. I am waiting to finish the download of all the iso(s) and then I can see what's in there...   Lets hope we can fix it..

Also I was wondering why can't we do an install from NFS.. ? that would make like much easier..

Anyway let me download it and see where we get..

Thanks again..
