I am trying to set up apt.conf.
The question is: What or How does the Debian developers place in written text the expression for Intel 64 bit. I can see at this page: http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/amd64/ch02s01.html.en#idp5618944 That the Intel 64 bit is expressed as amd64 for the designation Architecture as shown in the table. In the apt.conf example file there are two apt options, i assume that they are options from what i read. Architecture ----- singular Architectures ---- plural In the example file or the man apt.conf file the Architecture is shown as i386. The i386 is usually associated with 32 bit. Here in these e mail posts i am just trying to get the goolosh strait. Architecture Architectures And what are the correct words, names, expressions for these fields. I am working with a pre installed machine with a 64 bit Intel Ivy Bridge i3-3110M 2.4 GHz This is what the example file show: <!-- apt { architecture “i386” ; // i386 is usually 32 bit Intel. architecture :amd64; // Intel or amd } --> Or do people just ignore the apt configure and preferences tools. Thank you
