Hello,
I would greatly acknowledge you for making me develop a greater
understanding of the debian community. Recently, I received a laptop
from.one of my friends for repair. Actually,.it doesn't boot
properly. I have a copy of DVD 1 of Jessie i386.
The laptop has actually an AMD Athlon processor. The fact about
getting another copy is that it requires resources and time to
download. Thus, can I use the i386 one to install.
Thanks

Yes, the i386 DVD will be fine.
Actually, the i386 designation is probably a misnomer these days. The
minimum install spec is usually a Pentium, often with PAE. The
alternative is AMD64 which requires a 64-bit processor. You can run 32
bit on AMD64 but not the inverse.
