Re: will an armel install on a x86_64 machine bork ???

[Jason Young <doomcup@gmail.com>]

Why are you using an armel disc for an x86_64 machine? You might do well to download an image for x86_64 instead. In debian, it's called amd64.

As for what would happen, I don't know. I wouldn't try.

Hi
If I use a install CD for ARMEL on this machine, which is x86_64, will
it write a OS on a drive thats plugged in, or will it see the wrong
processor and bork out ??, thats of course if the deb installer will
see USB drives that are plugged in.
