--------------------------
anything with the word alpha in the name line is 64 bit software for the
DEC Alpha CPU chip.
Unless you are running that type of hardware disregard it.

Im just curious, what are you doing? A partial upgrade or an initial
install. If you are planning to upgrade an existing system INCLUDING the
kernel you should use dselect, choose the apt option and pick the stable
version of debian from the menu. It is a lot safer and easier the trying
to pick and choose what you need, This is especially true if you are new
to linux or in a reasonale hurry :-) If you have a stable system and a
good internet connection you can do this overnight and have a new setup
the next day.
