Just FYI... * Bruce Miller <bruce [ at ] brmiller [ dot ] ca> [080101 04:21]: > 1. despite the "amd64" label, 64bit OSes work on Intel chips as > well; amd64 is the name of the architecture just like ia32 is the name of the 32bit counter part. It was a name given to the processor by Intel, the 'i' likely stood for Intel. Note that there have been at least half dozen lines of ia32 CPU clones not manufactured by Intel, and yet we always ran ia32 executables on them. This is the reverse. -Bart -- WebSig: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/sig/
