Well, then perhaps we should just educate all the users.... oh wait, that's not an option. IA64 (as an architecture) pre-dates amd64, em646, x86_64 (or your preferred mnemonic) by years. Perhaps a README.FIRST in the download directories could clarify a lot of the confusion. http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r4a/ia64/iso-cd/ Or something short and pithy on http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ that covers the same territory. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
