correct. > The best thing to do, would be to always install 32bit by default. No. The best would be to look at "uname -m" output. Install 32-bit if it's "parisc" and install 64-bit if it's "parisc64". > As > when a person tries to boot on a machine that only has 64-bit firmware, > they will have to manually edit the PALO commandline to use vmlinux64, which > will result in them having a parisc64 uname -m entry. So I'd think > install based on the uname -m entry would work. Correct, it will. As long as palo can select which kernel to boot from the install media (CD, HD, network), a working kernel will get booted/installed by default. > I'm going to copy the parisc-linux list with this, for comments. thanks, grant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
