On a related note: we have an amd64-i386 “multi-arch” netinst image. I'd be happy to take opinions on the following questions since that's the only image linked directly from www.debian.org, which leads some people to call it “_the_ default installation image”… Its boot menu reads right now (at least in Jessie Beta 1): Install 64 bit install Graphical install 64 bit graphical install Advanced options Help Install with speech synthesis 64 bit speech install FWIW, I'm tempted to modify it so that it becomes: Install Graphical install 64 bit install 64 bit graphical install Advanced options Help Install with speech synthesis 64 bit speech install This means swiching items #2 and #3, so that we have 32-bit and 64-bit entries together (which is what happens in the "Advanced options" sub-menu). Speech synthesis entries can be kept together separately (see below). => debian-boot/cd@: anyone against such a change? The default is "Install" right now, which installs i386. The topic of this bug report is switching to "Graphical install" by default, but shouldn't we also promote amd64 by default while we're at it? This would mean having "64 bit graphical install" as the default. => debian-boot/cd@: do we want amd64 by default? Since the menus can be confusing a bit, I'm also wondering whether we should be explicit about the non-"64 bit" items, and prefix them with "32 bit". => debian-boot/cd@: opinions? If we were to switch to amd64 as the default architecture, we should probably point the "s" shortcut (for "speech synthesis") from "Install with speech synthesis" to "64 bit speech install". => debian-accessibility@: if we go from i386 to amd64 by default, is there anything that needs to be done on your side (doc update etc.) that we should coordinate with you? As far as I can see, right now we have "s" = i386, "s + down arrow" = amd64. This change would mean "s" = amd64, "s + up arrow" = i386. I'm not sure that changing the shortcuts are a good thing, to be honest, but being consistent as far as the default architecture is concerned would probably be a good idea anyway. :/ Mraw, KiBi.
