Bug Description

From http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

There is one image available:

64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image
Choose this to take full advantage of computers based on the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). If you have a non-64-bit processor made by AMD, or if you need full support for 32-bit code, use the i386 images instead. Choose this if you are at all unsure.

But the only image produced is 64-bit. The part about 32-bit images should be removed and the description rephrased.

Recommended for all modern Intel or AMD PCs.

32-bit PC (i386) desktop image
Only use if you know your PC isn't 64-bit capable as the 32-bit version can't use some security features in modern processors and has limited modern application support.
