Some run x86, others amd64. All are gentoo. The http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemrescuecd has a version for x86. I realize it will boot on all my systems. I am hoping that 1. I can use it to install either amd64 or x86 gentoo 2. I can use it to repair amd64 or x86 gentoo systems. Is this correct and if not what things will I be unable to do for amd64? thanks, allan
