Wary64, very small, for x86_64 CPUs

[Sage]

Barry's the man for that - sorry I've a blind deer (no idea)

Lot of testing, finally pinpointed the area of the FlashPlayer issues in some 64bit offerings, probably confirming rufwoof's analysis:
Wary64 6.99: FP/getflash d/l+instl works just fine with default v.11 ....422 on iPlayer
April64 7.0: FP/getflash - issues with getflash/FP d/l, gives unusual messages, not sure whether it's saying files not d/l or not installed, either way iPlayer does NOT work.

BK is the man, indeed! He will know exactly what the difference is between this area of 6.99 and 7.0.

Couldn't get Aprilx86 7.0 to complete booting - only 2.5Gb mem. at present as had to borrow RAM for another machine. Please confirm that 4Gb is absolute minimum. That's quite a tall order for many still using old x86 boards? Maybe some SW adjust could be made to reduce the x86 Ram requirements? Bridge too far for new compilation?

Wary64 has come to an end.

Quirky April 7.0 final is out, see new thread:

Wary64 is a variant of April64, a Quirky puplet aiming for very small size. Why I need such small size these days, I'm not so sure, but it is fun to do -- download is just 110.8MB, with a fully-featured distro, having "everything that you would want".

Isnt having fun the best reason to do something that's a hobby? As usual, I'm impressed with what you've been able to accomplish.

I have DSL internet, so having a distro at such a small size is nice to have.

Hi

Is there:

[- a more recent version (with about this size!), that question first to avoid to spend energy to adapt some solution on already actualized system]
- a compatibility lib / package for 32 bit (esp. xvidcap, and, if needing for it to capture best sound, pulse audio, but also air old 32 bit version from adobe needing by the educational software scratch2)



kind regards

PS: what is with Wine / some virtualization to complete the scope of app's, esp. for educational purposes where *.exe's continue to be the most used distributions way?

is an exactly correspondent wary32 version perhaps also available (because educational projects prefer to have both at disposition )?
