I was hoping i was doing the right thing with this live DVD. I realise
32 bit is going but i just wanted to test the hardware. I can't risk a
hard disk install until i have leave from work and can spend the
necessary time on an installation. Seems odd to ask for partitioning
on a liveDVD.
Hello,
- As Michael and DdB have stated, you are not using a live (name
starting by debian-live...) image but an installation image. There are
no more 32 bits live images, as Micheal has said.
- You can use a Debian installation image as a repair image to start a
shell that permits you to verify some basic points (no GUI...)
- The Linux Hardware Database (https://linux-hardware.org/) allows you
to verify if your computer or its parts are compatible with Linux and if
there are detailed successfull installation reports of a particular distro
