Testing for 64-bit support shouldn't be hard

and burn a 64-bit network install .iso instead of a DVD, a small fraction

Verifying 64-bit support would be another use for the Knoppix DVD or CD I
previously mentioned that a Gparted CD wouldn't likely be designed to do.
Felix, I didn't follow up this in detail, but why would one use DVD or CD
today, when there is USB stick that cost nothing?!
We are in 21st century
I can manage using dd to copy the image to a flash drive; I've done that
before. But I do have other uses for my available flash drives, although at
present I could use it as a one-time fix.
Also, it isn't so important to me to be on the cutting edge of everything. I
just want to get my computer rebuilt, running and stable. And I have several
stacks of brand-new, unused 100 CDs and 100 DVDs, but only a few flash
drives. In any case, this is not so important, and I can manage these
details.
All I want is to track down the source of this issue, resolve it, then resize
my root partition and change over to Devuan. And I can change to 64-bit
later, as well, if that will work. My most pressing problem at the moment is
why I am losing space on my root partition. Speaking of which: after a couple
more hours (during most of which I have been offline, as I was attending to
stuff in the real world), I am now down to 60.3 mb of free space. If you have
followed these threads, I was at something like 165 mb a few hours ago, and
200+ mb a day or so ago.
