The BIOS of the Asus T100 doesn't provide any option for legacy compatibility.

There
is an option to disable secureboot which I've selected to disable it. But actually I didn't try the 32bit only version, because the multi-arch worked.

Thx, in case of the Asus T100 this is what I want.

The netinstall images allow to install the base system without the need to download anything. You can set up the network and install extra tasks later.
Really? I'm quite sure that I tried the multi-arch installation and the installer didn't go on on a certain point because of missing WAN access. Is there something I have to select, like "just install the minimal setup"?

Good idea... a LAN-to-USB could also work if I set up a PXE environment. Will keep this in mind if there is no way to install without WAN access.
