Package: installation-reports Severity: wishlist Hello, My coworker installed Debian on an amd64-capable laptop, but happened to take the 32bit ISO image by mistake, and of course we noticed only after finishing the installation :) She was surprised that there was no warning about installing 32bit on 64bit. There could perhaps be for instance a confirm question right after selecting the language, and implemented in the hw-detect package, and be taught the same for ppc, mips, etc. Samuel
