It depends.  Are you running Stable (Etch) i386 with a 64-bit kernel or
Stable (Etch) amd64 with a 64-bit kernel?

What are your reasons for needing to switch to a 32-bit kernel?

If you are running Etch i386 with a 64-bit kernel, just use aptitude and
install the 32-bit kernel, then reboot and choose the 32-bit kernel from
the menu list.

Doug.

Change from 64bit to 32bit

2007-12-26 Thread Rob Wright
Greetings,

I'm using Stable with an amd64 kernel. I want to switch to a 32 bit version 
rather than the 64 bit. Any advice on doing so, or am I better off to just 
reload totally and start from scratch? What's the best way to make this 
change?

Thanks,

Rob Wright

It seems you would def. need to re-install as the 32-bit kernel wouldn't 
be able to run any of the 64 packages and libraries that are installed on 
your system.
