Hi

I've successfully emulated the i686 virtual machine with libvirt to  
reproduce the incompatibility of new Debian Edu with old hardware.

The result, that I've got with Debian Edu 12.9, is the same for i686  
(as was awaited):

/ltsp/x2go-bare-amd64/vmlinuz... ok
/ltsp/x2go-bare-amd64/ltsp.img... ok
/ltsp/x2go-bare-amd64/initrd.img... ok
This Kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.
Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.


I've also tried to generate i386 image but got a network error:

# debian-edu-ltsp-install --arch i386 --diskless_workstation yes  
--thin_type bare
I: Target architecture can be executed
I: Retrieving InRelease
I: Retrieving Release
E: Failed getting release file  
http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/Release


Trying to get a "Realease" file with "wget" command it results with  
error "502 Bad Gateway":

Another virtual pc behind the same gateway (10.0.0.1) can get the  
Release file without problems.
