Hi,

anybody can tell me how to define is my system 64 bits or 32 bits?
Thanks in advance.

Use file on a binary for example :
$ file /bin/bash
/bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux
2.6.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

=> 64bits

uname can tel you if your kernel is 64bits (amd64 arch) or 32bits (i486, i686,
k7) but it doesn't means your entire distribution is 64bit.
You can have a 32bit distrib with a 64bit kernel.

Hello,

what do you really mean by `system' ? hardware ? or kernel ?

Don't you mean CPU? If the CPU's 64 bit, and the Debian installer has
any clue (and we chose the right iso (of course)), then a 64 bit CPU
install will get a 64 bit kernel. Works on my Sun U30.

Exactly yes, CPU is AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ and no idea is it 64 bits or
32 bits CPU.

1) Pls don't top post
2) AMD PR at
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/V...~71941,00.html
and note chip shipped in 2003 all leads me to believe it's 32 bit arch.
3) I'm unsure how to (eg) use a Live (Debian) CD to get info as to
32 .v. 64 bit arch.

It is 64bits if you see lm (Large Mode) in :
$ grep flags /proc/cpuinfo
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm
constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca
cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm
constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm

Here, it was a core 2 Duo (2 line because 2 cpu).
There is lm.

Get a live 64 CD and try to boot on your system, if it could not then
it is 32 bits.
