You do a straight 32bit install on your amd64. The amd64 is 32bit capable. I don't know whether to call your precessor an athlon or maybe a generic x86 processor. It is the same as running Windows 2000/XP on this processor. The OS thinks it has a 32bit CPU. Only you are limited to 32bit lim

Hi, I'm very unclear about this idea. I've built my new AMD64 machine using the Gentoo 64-bit setup. The kernel I emerge uses the ~amd64 to I think I get a full 64-bit kernel. (Please excuse me on this issue. I'm a bit of a "follow instructions, not necessarily understand the whole thing" kind o
