Handbook Talk:AMD64/Installation/Stage

Maybe a pointer to use ntpdate (a la `ntpdate -s time.nist.gov`) should show up instead of just date? Not everybody has an accurate clock handy :) Hlzr (talk) 05:05, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Choosing a stage tarball
No-multilib (pure 64-bit) Selecting a no-multilib tarball to be base of the new system will provides a complete 64-bit operating system environment.This effectively renders the ability able to switch to multilib profiles improbable (although it is not impossible). A better (from grammar and context perspective) sentence would be : Selecting a no-multilib tarball as base of the new system will provide only a complete 64-bit operating system environment. This effecti-vely renders the ability to switch to multilib profiles improbable ... (Georgios Doumas)
