No problem -- But I guess in ten years from now sombody like me will ask a
similar question in a similar thread and somebody like you will come up
with a quite similar answer ;)
What I'd really like to know rightnow is whether i386 *is* the wrong therm
for the x86 (or IA32) arch or not. If not then Debian could stick to this
name, but if so I think Debian just delays the problem for a few years.
Kind regards
Bastian
