This is from a thread i started name "Thanks For The Ride" it was meant to be a rant because of the discrepency between 32 bit system and a 64 bit system. In the tutorials it was written that mint4win would only wqrk if you were running a 64 bit well i had or thought i had a 32 bit and then something happened this happened..

This new interface is very nice great job to the developers. Your not going to believe this one it came as a welcome surprise to me. When this computer was built the technician said he built in some extras and this was one of them i guess. Read this thread down to the 9th post and feed that command into your terminal..

All these years I've been running a dual core 64 bit processor, question is, are you? If you are chances are you'll be able to download Linux Mint 13 Maya.. I used this application because at one time my CD ROM was busted and i didn't have a way to go, but this allowed my to install Mint along with the "788" MB load. *edit* not 800 MB

Re: Mint4Win And XP
Just curios to see if anyone has discovered that.. you are actually running 64-bit ubuntu on 32-bit machine?
By running this command in their terminal? If so you'll be able to install Mint 13 Maya using mint4win..

sudo lshw -c cpu
Re: Mint4Win And XP
When you run that command and you see this readout and you think you've been using a 32 bit OS then you'll be pleasantly surprised.. as you can see the width says 64 bits, anyways if you've been having a difficult time installing Mint 13 give it a try. Understand this is for those of you running an older copy of Windows..
