Problem is Debian detects an AMD64 where there is only a 32 Intel
DualCore. Strange, and annoying for the build.

This is what I'm doing right now. I just wanted to know if there's a way
to install the LiveCD on a partition of the HD to prevent remaking the

WIndow$ !

For that particular one, you're right : the solution is : I don't use
Debian, and I don't use Mandriva either. Just wait for the LFS to be
