It depends. You can install a regular i686 (32bit) system on the Athlon |
| 9 |
64 chips just fine. if you want to do that, you should be ok with your |
| 10 |
old minimal CD assuming your hardware is supported by it. If you want |
| 11 |
to install an x86_64 aka amd64 sytem (64bit) from your 32bit install |
| 12 |
environment, then you're SOL as the chroot will fail. |
