That one might do the job, but I always use the much smaller netinst image. The one you found will do a pretty standard base install on i386 or amd64 and also includes the source code for all the packages it includes. > Does it really support exactly two architectures, i386 and AMD64? > > Can this image be dd'ed to a USB stick and booted from that?

I always use this one: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.4.0/multi-arch/iso-cd/debian-8.4.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso I have certainly used that before to install 64 bit debian on a 32 bit UEFI system. That one can certainly be dd'd onto a USB key. I believe almost all debian installer iso files can. According to https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI: "Debian Jessie (8.0) was the first Linux distribution to include full support for mixed-mode UEFI installation on these machines. The multi-arch installation media (available in netinst and DVD form) include the UEFI boot loaders neceesary for both i386 and amd64 boot. By selecting "64-bit install" from the initial boot menu, debian-installer will install a 64-bit (amd64) version of Debian. The system will automatically detect that the underlying UEFI firmware is 32-bit and will install the appropriate version of grub-efi to work with it." -- Len Sorensen --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
