I agree. I could possibly understand removing the python 2 packages from a distribution, but *removing them from a user's machine* is never excusable. A policy like that is guaranteed to break something and, indeed, it did. Good reasons to switch to Debian. :-) -tk On Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 4:49

That's what happened on my VM as well. Inexcusable that a seemingly innocuous update would remove something without an upwardly compatible replacement. Or, switch to Debian? 😀 -tk On Sat, Apr 25, 2020 at 9:16 AM Cat22 wrote: > > > On Saturday, April 25, 2020 at 8:13:37 AM UTC-7, Cat22 wrote: >

Yes i386 is 32 bit, amd64 is 64bit. Which you use depends how you setup your VM, or how you setup your VM will determine which ISO. Either will be fine. Gary On Saturday, 25 April 2020 21:44:55 UTC+10, Cat22 wrote: > > Ok, my bad - i thought the amd64 said arm64 - I will restart the install >
