I notice “amd64” in the torrent file name. I suppose this will not work on an Intel Core 2 Duo machine… ---

I am pretty sure it just refers to the instruction set which is compatible with x86. ---

It’s just called that because AMD64 because AMD designed the 64-bit extension. Whatever you call it depends on who’s marketing team got to you first 😉 ---

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The cause why that image is called amd64 is that it follows Ubuntu’s naming scheme which uses “amd64” for images for the 64bit x86 architecture and “i386” for the 32bit, now on-almost-any-machine-obsolete address size architecture (actually, both names are misleading… Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 runs on any x86 processor with the 64bit instruction set, being produced by AMD, Intel or even VIA, and Ubuntu 13.10 i386 will _not_ run on a 386, even if it had enough memory; it needs the features of the i686 generation).

Hi! I Installed GNU Radio live on a usb stick and I was changing some aspects of its configuration. I like to delete some entries of the boot menu (is to use with my students at class and I don’t one anyone to use “install ubuntu”) and i broke grub2. Now the usb stick does not boot. I know hot to fix a normal grub2 installation, but as it is a grub2 on a casper filesystem I don’t know how to fix it. Any help please? regards ---

Any help please? ​I expect you’ll find it easiest to start over from scratch. For reference, when we create the live USB drives for our classes​, we use Unetbootin, then replace the installed syslinux and grub configuration files with these: [https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio-livesdr/blob/livesdr-snapshot/custom/grub/syslinux.cfg](https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio-livesdr/blob/livesdr-snapshot/custom/grub/syslinux.cfg) [https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio-livesdr/blob/livesdr-snapshot/custom/grub/grub.cfg](https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio-livesdr/blob/livesdr-snapshot/custom/grub/grub.cfg) These have the extraneous menu options removed and allow the user to choose between persistent and non-persistent modes. The syslinux.cfg controls the boot options when booting in legacy BIOS mode, and the grub.cfg controls the boot options in UEFI boot mode. ## – Johnathan C.
