Question 1:
On one machine I am running a 32 bit debian install on a amd64 bit
machine.
I run 64 bit on another machine, and this one is an older install.
I am running sid.
Which of these kernels is appropriate?
linux-image-2.6-24-1-486
linux-image-2.6-24-1-686
linux-image-2.6-24-1-k7
I assume that the kernel by apt-cache show
linux-image-2.6-24-1-amd64 listed is the 64 bit kernel, which will be
inappropriate for my old 32 bit installation.
You can run a 64-bit kernel to take advantage of CPU features, in a
32-bit userland (i386) install with no problem at all.
The only caveat being if you want to build additional modules (e.g.
nvidia) as mixing 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace doesn't allow this.
