Hi, Question 1:
On one machine I am running a 32 bit debian install on a amd64 bit machine. I run 64 bit on another machine, and this one is an older install. I am running sid. Which of these kernels is appropriate? linux-image-2.6-24-1-486 linux-image-2.6-24-1-686 linux-image-2.6-24-1-k7 I assume that the kernel by apt-cache show linux-image-2.6-24-1-amd64 listed is the 64 bit kernel, which will be inappropriate for my old 32 bit installation. I know that linux-image-2.6-24-1-486 should work, as will linux-image-2.6-24-1-k7 because I ran it for some time (:)). Was I wrong to use it? I am not sure if I even should have used the k-7 in the past after all: after all the amd 64 cpu is a k-8 not a k-7:). The amd64 I am using is an single core older one: cat /proc/cpuinfo says cpu family 15 model 12 athlon 3000+ However, I guess either 486 or k7 works by trial and error. What about the 686 one? Question 2: Is the only way to do a conversion to full amd64 distro to do a fresh install? Mitchell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
