Dear,

"Xenoppix-x86-64(Xen3.0.2+KNOPPIX-x86_64-5.0.1) CD size" is released.
  http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/xen/index-en.html

Xenoppix-x86-64 exploits latest CPU (Intel Core2 Duo and AMD Athlon64). 
 * Xenoppix-x86-64 boots both X86 and X86_64 linux kernel on HVM of Xen. 
 * Xenoppix-x86-64 looks like KNOPPIX but all packages are replaced for X86_64. 
 * Xenoppix-x86-64 also works as KNOPPIX-x86_64.
 * Boot loader is GRUB which supports EFI. It enables boot on Intel MAC. 
 * Linux kernel is 2.6.16 for Domain0 of Xen and 2.6.17 for KNOPPIX-x86_64.

There is a figure to run KNOPPIX-x86_64, Quantian(kerenl2.6), and
ClusterKNOPPIX(kernel2.4+OpenMosix) on HVM of Xenoppix-x86-64.
  http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/xen/multi-HVM.JPG

# Usage 
4 Boot selections of GRUB.
  http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/xen/xenoppix64-grub2.jpg
 * KNOPPIX/Xen3.0.2 
   It is used to run Domain0 of Xen without memory restriction. If you
   want to run HVM of xen, please use the second menu.
 * KNOPPIX/Xen3.0.2 (Domain0 memory 512MB) 
   It is used to run HVM on Domain0 of Xen. 512MB memory is assigned to 
Domain0. 
 * KNOPPIX (normal kernel for HVM Domain, noswap nosmp noapic nolapic) 
It is used to run KNOPPIX-x86_64 on HVM. 
 * KNOPPIX (normal kernel) 
   It is used to run as normal KNOPPIX-x86_64. 

To run HVM 
  "knoppixHVM" command runs Xenoppix on HVM or other CD bootable OSes. 
  # knoppixHVM
  # knoppixHVM [/path/to/isofile] [domain name] 
To run DomainU 
  "knoppixU" command runs Xenoppix on DomainU. Unfortunately GUI is
  not supported because Xvnc is supported for X86_64.
  # knoppixU 

# Performance of KNOPPIX-x86_64 
  We compared Pi calculation on KNOPPIX-x86_64 and KNOPPIX32. The software
  calculates 3 Million digits of Pi.
  Download http://h2np.net/pi/pi_quick_start.tar.gz 
   % tar zxf pi_quick_start.tar.gz 
   % cd pi_quick_start 
   % ./start.sh 
  Follow the instruction messages. 
  You can send the result to "http://h2np.net/pi/pi_record_e.html"; with
  "send.sh" command.
