Description Ken Bergen 2012-09-12 05:24:12 CEST

Dual CD installer. 

There should be an easy way to install 32bit to disk on a 64bit system.

A menu entry under install would do. 
The default entry could say something like "Install Mageia 64bit"
An additional entry "Install Mageia 32bit" would be nice instead of jumping through hoops.

there was something like that for 2/3 years but was removed since it didn't work anymore, maybe we can add that again with the grub switch and syslinux update
