I might be mistaken, but as far as I remember "amd64" is the name of the architecture that AMD developed (like i386 was designed and thus named by Intel). "x86_64" is the extentions that make the CPU compatible with the amd64 architecture. Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
