Ok, I understand that fact, but it wouldn't hurt to have some info or |
| 14 |
even a HOWTO on gentoo.org or the gentoo-Wiki for current CPUs, listing |
| 15 |
some kind of table like |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
CPU | target system | |
| 18 |
Core2Duo | 32bit | 64bit | |
| 19 |
livecd/arch | i686 | amd64 | |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
or similar. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I tried to find something like that for quite some time, I assume not to |
| 24 |
be the most stupid guy out there, but wasn't able to find something |
| 25 |
telling me explicitly how to start and which media to use. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Just a minor note ... |

Thanks again, Stefan |
