I know there is two version of base.tgz files from http://daily.grml.org/. I downloaded http://daily.grml.org/base.tgz, not the 64b version, but its hostname contains "amd64.grml.org". Is it just the etc/hostname file alone, or there are more problems to the base.tgz file?

The buildprocess of grml-live adjusts it on the fly, so nothing to worry about.

PS. How do I know if my AMD is running in 32b or 64b mode?

Just execute "dpkg --print-architecture". As a reference:

# dpkg --print-architecture i386

vs.

# dpkg --print-architecture amd64

Regarding the kernel check the CONFIG_X86_64 option:

# zgrep CONFIG_X86_64 /proc/config.gz CONFIG_X86_64=y
