from what I understand Simon is saying here, he is not being understood really. What he is suggesting is to add a small documentation text that, in case one doesn't knows what to choose, mentions what is the most common choice in case of most common setups (today is clearly i686) and when/why to choose otherwise, also linking to simple explanations that may help orienting people to choose their installation medium according to their target hardware. I believe this can be a useful addition and wish someone preferably native in english language can contribute it. ciao _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
