Let's avoid copying threads to "every imaginable Lubuntu mailing list"... pick the one list that is appropriate for your topic. The closest thing I am aware of to this is the Debian default install image, which is currently multi-arch i386/amd64. See http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.0.0/multi-arch/iso-cd/debian-7.0.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso If this is a capability you really need (as Yorvk said, why anyone would need this in Lubuntu is unclear), I would suggest looking at the Debian approach as a starting point. There is an LXDE desktop environment in Debian, so, while it isn't Lubuntu, it can be made somewhat close in basic feel. You could probably create an LXDE-based Debian image that is multi-arch, and then test on several i386 and amd64 machines. Please try to be clearer - state your goals accurately. I take it that something more like "all computers with Intel i386 CPUs" is intended -- hopefully you are not seriously thinking of also booting this image to install Lubuntu on i960, or ia64, for example, as both of those are Intel CPU architectures. Even restricting to i386, I think the "all Intel (i386) CPUs" concept is not going to be feasible. At least, not without a *ton* of work. This is because Linux 3.8.x kernels do not even support 386 CPUs at all, and current Debian default kernels expect PAE support. See http://www.zdnet.com/good-bye-386-linux-to-drop-support-for-i386-chips-with-next-major-release-7000008772/ So even just a modern Debian or Ubuntu-based image that boots on "all" Intel i386 machines would require a huge amount of work. Doing that as well as the multi-arch stuff for amd64 in one image ... wow, that's a big project. If you really want to take that on, good luck :) Jonathan -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
