a curiosity, not a bug

Had an interesting thing happen here yesterday; I was playing with my cheap Toshiba laptop which has a "Celeron 900" cpu.*** I realized it didn't have a frugal install of Porteus, so decided to add one, grabbed what I thought was a v09-32 iso and got the pieces from that, added boot code to my SD card, and rebooted.
But watching the boot text I realized at some point it was loading x86_64 lzm files, and I waited for it to crash -- but eventually saw the kde4 screen with the orange leaves. It actually does a credible job of running kde4, better than either of my aged desktops.
Anyway, the laptop came with win7 32-bit, and I've even had it slap me when I tried to install some 64-bit windows app -- but it'll sure run 64-bit Porteus. I'll have to play with this some more.
***bought this in a hurry as a cheap travel laptop after our HP's display failed -- and have grown to love it.
