Oh, don't give up! LOL! I got it working. "Just Read The Instructions" . Actually, I went to the Debian docs (DOH !) and instead of using dd I did it per the instructions and used cp and then sync. Works GREAT, albeit a bit slow.
So, if I really want to take advantage of what the 64 bit OS can do I suppose I could look for a LGA775 motherboard that supports more than 4 GB of ram. And no more worries about i386 (686 pae) versus amd64.
And thanks for not giving up.
UPDATE:
And by the way, I misread the post where it said to dd to /dev/sdg and not /dev/sdg1 , that is why I appeared to be not following you advice. Mark it up to bad eyes, or just stupidity if you will. Maybe font size. But it was clear in the Debian docs (bigger fonts, lol).
I am not irrational, I'm just quantum probabilistic.
