No, that's not correct. The 386 kernel will run fine on almost all Intel and AMD based systems. If you want an optimized kernel for your processor, you'll just have to install the proper kernel-image after the installation finishes (or compile one yourself). Installing with the netinst CD will almost certainly give you a working system. The netinst is intended mainly for people who do _a lot_ of testing installations for d-i; it's to save them downloading a full CD all the time. And it is the best way to test something like a full CD installation. End users will not be advised to use a netinst CD after Sarge has been released anyway, they will be using full CD's (or netboot or floppy or maybe businesscard). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBvGVVgm/Kwh6ICoQRAjv2AJ4ywBg2K4dXQ+S1VOsJhuZPhiQRzgCg0EjG qXyrndrEIhx7h9srJjTgpoI= =YGPt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
