Oh I see. But at the page and the options for torrent download at:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#bt

I have two options for 64 bit download (Ubuntu LTS 10.04) and these are:

(i) ubuntu-10.04.3-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent<http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.3-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent>
(ii) ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent<http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent>

However, I was given the links for description, but I am confused regarding
it. Ok alternate desktop CD means that it is no more like a 'live CD' but
'amd64', is the one I have to use as a 'live CD' for 64 bit INTEL processor
(which my system has).....? Or there is another link (if it is, please do
send me), for only INTEL 64 bit, Live CD Ubuntu LTS 10.04.

Thx.
