fai AMD64 installation into VMWare

[Benjamin Scherrer]

Hi,

thanks for the quick answer! Well, I build our own fai-cd (with the
fai-cd script) out of a 32 bit environment. Where is the point where I
have to decide if it will install a 64 or a 32 bit system?

p.s. sorry, I first sent this only to your e-mail address
