1. In an external hard drive which is used on multiple computers, what Linux
kernel is appropriate? I work on Pentium 4 / Sempron / Athlon 64, and
similar computers. I am currently considering "linux-image-686".
good choice for compatibility
2. Can I install "linux-image-amd64", and use the I386 Debian with it, on an
AMD64 computer?
Not so competent in this, but i think that yes, as you can use
specific kernel in 386 distro, and amd64 supports 32 bit arch as well.
3. Can I set it up so that when I install a package, the I386 version will
be installed on one partition, and the AMD64 version on another?
You can have multiple kernels on same partition, and switchable by grub.
