I have run into a number of issues with installing debian, and I am at the point where I have to install it 32 bit from a DVD. My system is 64bit, so here's my question:
How would I go about installing 64 bit debian with a 32bit CD?
I should theoretically be able to do this by merging parts of the 64bit iso with the 32bit iso. I don't know however how one would go about doing so, which is why I ask you:
How do I create a debian iso wich runs as 32bit but installs 64bit debian?
Answer
Nope, is not possible. The installation DVD of Debian (nor any other respectable OS) doesn't work that way. You should either install from the ground up 64-bit or just leave your system with 32-bits. There isn't any drawback using 32-bits (even if your CPU is 64-bit) so you can just install the 32-bits and when you get the 64-bit installation media, just install it on top after doing your backups.
