apt on amd64: question from newbie
Hello all,
I've recently installed debian on amd64 from a amd64 NETINST iso.
Maybe I'm a bit confused, but... I'dd like to know if I need to edit my
apt sources.list in order for apt to fetch de amd64 packages instead of
the "standard" i386 packages...
I've noticed that there are amd64 specific .deb packages.... but I don't
now if apt-get/synaptic/etc are "smart enough" to use the amd64
repositories.... or must I edit the sources.list...
thank you
Joao
PS: my current sources.list (I did not touch it after install;)
