<snip> How do I determine if I have a i386 or x86_64 processor?
less /proc/cpuinfo ?
So I need the liveCD to boot to get to this point? Which one.
Oh, my current systems are running Centos 5.4 (I think) and only have 256Mb and 512Mb memory. To go to 6.n, I need more memory, like 1Gb. So I have a couple systems on the floor that I dropped new drives into so they don't have a running OS yet.
The i386 one should boot on both 32/64bit platforms, but with only 256/512M of RAM I don't think you can install CenOS 6.x.
The CPU flag you're looking for in /proc/cpuinfo is "lm" (Long Mode).
