Sorry, I respectfully disagree. A 32 bit AMD/Intel machine has barely been manufactured for >10 years now. If you happen to have a pure 32 bit machine sitting around, you're probably living on borrowed time. If you mean running 32 bit on a 64 bit capable machine - why is that better than running 64 bit code anyway? Debian is possibly the last major Linux distribution to support 32 bit on x86 - the others have all given up now. All best, as ever, Andy Cater > > Hope this helps, > > Thx, ...
