How can i proobe that? (less > /proc/cpuinfo?) uname -a will show you i686 (or i386) for a 32-bit x86 kernel. A 64-bit kernel would be x86_64 or something like that.

There are stock kernel image for most architectures. Depends on which 64-bit you've got (ia64 or amd64 or em64t). Dave. -- Please don't CC me on list messages! ...
