Dear Folks.

I am running Debian etch on an old AMD Duron 1200 box.

It's so long since I used it I can't remember if it must be running the 32 bit version of Debian ie 64 bit version cannot run on it?

uname -m says i686 which makes me think it is 64 bit.
unlikely, I think Duron's were pre 64 bit chips, but I could be wrong and someone will correct me if that is the case.

​Many thanks for the help here.  This means that if I want to upgrade to Lenny I need to find a repository that is of the x86 32 bit variety.

​Cheers MF
