Hi Katolaz,

I did a *very quick* check of your live images on VirtualBox. Both
amd64 and i386 versions boot fine on a diskless VM created with the
"Debian (64-bit)" preset. I could log in, ping a machine on the
internet and perform a clean shutdown.

However, when I tried the i386 image on a VM created with the
"Debian (32-bit)" preset, I got the following error message right
after hitting enter on the boot menu screen:
+------------------------------------------------------
| This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:
| pae
| Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.

+------------------------------------------------------

One minor cosmetic quibble for all cases: The boot menu looked
truncated. E.g., what presumably should read "(default)" read just
"(defa" instead.

HTH, HAND
