i'll keep this short. Is it possible to configure porteus.cfg in order to be able to shoose between a 32bit distro and a 64bir one, if yes, how if not, why??? i dont really want to use another multiboot... if i can avoid it...
thank you in advance, love this community after my 3rd post...

Of course, for example:
Your directories hierarchy should look like in above example (only cut/paste):
Code: Select all
MENU LABEL Porteus 32
KERNEL /boot/i486/porteus/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=/boot/i486/porteus/initrd.xz from=/boot/i486
MENU LABEL Porteus 64
KERNEL /boot/x86_64/porteus/vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=/boot/x86_64/porteus/initrd.xz from=/boot/x86_64
Code: Select all
boot
i486
porteus
vmlinuz
initrd.xz
x86_64
porteus
vmlinuz
initrd.xz
You have mind and feelings. Be wise and clever.

And do not forget that 32 bit packages or modules will only work with 32 bit architecture and 64 bit packages will only work with 64 bit architecture. However, 32 bit packages could work for 64 bit architecture given that you use compat libraries. The compat 32 bit module is available here:
