There are still reasons to install a 64 bits kernel if the micro supports it. In fact, I have an Intel Celeron with just 1 GiB of RAM (max. allowed is 2 GiB) and installed a 64 bits (amd64) Debian, just for compatibility issues with the rest of the machines which are also running 64 bits kernels :-) > I.e. just use your regular 32bit Intel install (i386/x86/i686/IA32 or > whichever name you like to use to refer to it). In Debian is called "i386". Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
