What was the reason not to release the mini_livecd 64bit?



A mini_livecd 64bit was never requested so far. An other reason was to limit the amount of LiveCDs.
(...)
Nevertheless, I've just built a mini_livecd 64bit. Download mini_livecd64_SL55_2010-06-24.iso from

http://www.livecd.ethz.ch/download/testing/55/x86_64/

It's not tested, but you may want to give it a try.

Hi,

I did. Some apps didn't open after pressing their buttons when run from CD - that's the fault of my DVD drive probably - so I went to shell and installed SL x64 via livecd-install.

Alas, I was not able to up the SL x64. The process stopped (repeatedly) at the following messages (copied manually from the screen, no trace in logs):

Switching to new root and running in it
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys

request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c

(here system went to sleep and it has stopped sending messages...)

BTW.1. I looked to the SL partition from other systems and there are no dev, proc, sys contents.

BTW.2. On the second partition with SL x32 I ended up in "dependency hell" setting priorities to the same value. I know what I did. ;-) But is there a general rule what to open first?

I need some apps which I used in Debian like Tea Editor (a must!), gqview (a must!), opera+firefox (a must!), (good) pdf reader, gftp, sound (a must), flash (high priority), etc.

As some apps informed the lack of certain libraries I set priorities of all repos to 10 to have overall picture of what is available. Alas, the tea was still left without support - no libs it needed.

Do I really need to compile them, against what repo?

BTW.3. The repositories listed on the repo page http://www.scientificlinux.org/community/repo need little descriptions IMHO - which one may be used in full alone or together with which, etc. One hyperlink to external text describing the problem would suffice.

Regards
