Re: [Xen-API] 32bit version of XCP 1.0 ISO?

[Lars Kurth <lars.kurth@xxxxxxx>]

I will fix the download page then, as it says nothing and creates the 
impression that both 32 and 64 bit systems are supported. So we are 
misleading people into downloading something that does not work. And 
when they spent time and bandwith downloading a big ISO file they 
realize it was for nothing.
If that happened to me I'd be furious! It's like dangling a carrot in 
front of me, just to notice that when I finally reached it, it is rotten.
Do the LiveCDs support 32 bit?
