Most people would prefer the 64bit kernel with 32bit userspace. I think there is an option in expert mode to select your kernel yourself from a list, but unless you are in expert mode you probably shouldn't care and would tend to prefer the 64bit kernel. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
