Re: Installing debian-amd64



for the sources problem:

Keep in mind that the amd64 port is still not in the official
archives, but the installer is already configured to work as if it
was. Thus, you have to point it to alioth or a mirror when it comes to
downloading packages: Choose http as protocol. Then choose the first
option which will let you enter the information. Enter the host as
"debian.inode.at" or "debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org" or
"bach.hpc2n.umu.se" or "bytekeeper.as28747.net". Enter the directory
as "/pure64" on the next screen. Enter the proxy, if any, on the next
screen. Choose unstable as the distribution. There are no stable or
testing distributions available so far. Testing will become available
within the next few weeks, as soon as the scripts on alioth are ready.

From: https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html


for the grub and windows thing do this:

go to /boot/grub/menu.list

and add this

title Stinky OS
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
boot

This ought to work

and yeah you dont need to update grub just edit the file and reboot.!!!
