1- I D/L a distribution <br clear="all">2- because I have no RW DVDs I burn the CD version<br>3- I install the CD version<br>4- After running the the install there is an ICON that says &#39;upgrade to the DVD&#39; so I upgrade<br>
5- my system starts to panic when running off of the battery so it is wisely suggested to upgrade  my kernel.  So I am doing so it asks me what kernel I am running. It had been said on the list that my kernel is the 64 bit kind but when I tried to upgrade to the 64bit kernel the computer complained and said &#39;wrong architecture&#39;.<br>
6- I installed the kernel for the i386 and have been happily running it now for a couple of days<br><br>Questions:<br>Was I supposed to do something to make it see that it is a 64? <br>Would it run if an i386 was installed on a 64?<br>
Does it really matter?<br>--<br>:-)~MIKE~(-:<br>
