The LiveDVD is <b>available in two flavors</b>: a hybrid x86/x86_64 version, and |
76 |
an x86_64 multi lib version. The <path>livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-12.1</path> version |
77 |
will work on 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x86_64. If your CPU architecture is x86, then |
78 |
boot with the default <c>gentoo</c> kernel. If your arch is <uri |
79 |
link="/doc/en/gentoo-amd64-faq.xml#difference">amd64</uri>, boot with the |
80 |
<c>gentoo64</c> kernel. This means you can boot a 64-bit kernel and install a |
81 |
customized 64-bit user land while using the provided 32-bit user land. The |
82 |
<path>livedvd-amd64-multilib-12.1</path> version is for x86_64 only. |
