Debian Live 32+64 Bit: is it possible?

[Doc73]

Dear Isaac,
I do not know if that's possible, but it would be great to have two different plugins to put together two debian lives, one at 32-bit and another at 64-bit.

Hi and thank you very much!

This is a good idea! I should make the debian-live.sh plugin allow multiple
files, just like the ubuntu.sh plugin does.

Great! It works!

I would add some suggestions, if you want.

I confess, in fact, that my goal is to load on a usb pen two installable lives of CrunchBang Waldorf (http://crunchbanglinux.org/).
With this plugin I get the two lives, but not the possibility to install the distro.
If you want, you can add support to this distro, adding to syslinux something like this (so probably it will not work, but could be a basis on which to work):

label installgui32
    menu label Graphical Install 32Bit
    kernel /crunch32/install/gtk/vmlinuz
    append initrd=/crunch32/install/gtk/initrd.gz video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788 quiet file=/cdrom/install/crunchbang.cfg

label install32
    menu label Text Install 32Bit
    kernel /crunch32/install/vmlinuz
    append initrd=/crunch32/install/initrd.gz vga=normal quiet file=/cdrom/install/crunchbang.cfg

label installgui64
    menu label Graphical Install 64bit
    kernel /crunch64/install/gtk/vmlinuz
    append initrd=/crunch64/install/gtk/initrd.gz video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788 quiet file=/cdrom/install/crunchbang.cfg

label install64
    menu label Text Install 64bit
    kernel /crunch64/install/vmlinuz
    append initrd=/crunch64/install/initrd.gz vga=normal quiet file=/cdrom/install/crunchbang.cfg

You can also add failsafe mode:

label livefailsafe32
    menu label Live Session (failsafe) 32Bit
    kernel /crunch32/live/vmlinuz
    append initrd=/crunch32/live/initrd.img boot=live config noapic noapm nodma nomce nolapic nomodeset nosmp vga=normal

label livefailsafe64
    menu label Live Session (failsafe) 64bit
    kernel /crunch64/live/vmlinuz
    append initrd=/crunch64/live/initrd.img boot=live config noapic noapm nodma nomce nolapic nomodeset nosmp vga=normal

In these days, I also studied a lot and I was able to load the live using grub2 installed on USB pen!

Thanks so much for everything and sorry for my repeated requests!

I'll download the distro and look into it.

Unfortunately, you can't have both versions installable on one disc, at least not without re-building them. The installer in the /install folder assumes it will be able to find files in /pool, /.disk and /dist. I can't mix those, because there will be conflicting files.
I did, however, add a feature for MultiCD's -i command to ask which version of Debian Live should be installable, if you have more than one included. This is the same system I set up for Puppy Linux previously.

Thank you very much, Isaac!
Your solution is still better than nothing!
