Hi,

I've added a warning to the Xen Shell "install" command that new
installs of 32-bit guests are now deprecated, and pointing you to:

    https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/64-bit_guests


Those of you with existing 32-bit guests, which I know is many of
you, should be okay for a few years yet. Even after the Xen
hypervisor officially ditches support for 32-bit guests we will
ensure they are still bootable. But I would encourage you to choose
64-bit at your next install or operating system upgrade for an
easier life.

Cheers,
Andy
