The LiveDVD is <b>available in two flavors</b>: a hybrid x86/x86_64 version, and |
| 72 |
an x86_64 multi lib version. The <path>livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-11.2</path> version |
| 73 |
will work on 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x86_64. If your CPU architecture is x86, then |
| 74 |
boot with the default <c>gentoo</c> kernel. If your arch is <uri |
| 75 |
link="/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml#difference">amd64</uri>, boot with the |
| 76 |
<c>gentoo64</c> kernel. This means you can boot a 64-bit kernel and install a |
| 77 |
customized 64-bit user land while using the provided 32-bit user land. The |
| 78 |
<path>livedvd-amd64-multilib-11.2</path> version is for x86_64 only. |
