Hi Helios, I am not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve, but understand it might be something to do with keeping Ubuntu Studio working with older hardware (especially older 32 bit PCs).
As Len says, we are still providing 32 bit installation media at the moment, but there are plans to drop them eventually. This is because, testing the installation media (ISOs) takes time, and we struggle to find enough testers. Actually, I am about to announce a test of the Ubuntu Studio Xenial 16.04.3 ISOs which you are welcome to help out with. Even if we stop providing 32 bit installation media, it should still be possible to upgrade your existing Ubuntu Studio 32 bit installation, as packages will still be built for that architecture (and several others). See https://launchpad.net/builders/. If you want to know how to go ahead and create the 32 bit media anyway. The Live CDs are built here (e.g. the current development release - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cdimage/+livefs/ubuntu/artful/ubuntustudio). From there you can find links to the code etc. There is also some other information here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/SetupLocalIsoBuildServer. Then we would need a place to publish the images (for users), and to allow people to test them and provide feedback. Currently this is done here: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/380/builds (but the 32 bit pages will one day disappear). I hope that helps (although I am not sure if it is what you are after). Regards, Ross On 08/01/2017 03:39 PM, Helios Martinez Dominguez wrote: > Thank you, Ovens.
