This is about an amd64 kernel that can be installed from a .deb on i386. I don't remember exactly why the kernel was build with 3.4, but it did have better support for amd64 than 3.3. I think the reason is that the 3.4 version could build both 32 and 64 bit code from a single binary with the -m32 and -m64 options. The reason 3.3 didn't have this is probably related to that 3.4 wasn't the default in sarge. Anyway, I don't know about the current state of amd64 kernels for i386, so I don't have a suggestion for that text. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
