I want to make a boot/flash drive to install antiX Linux on an old 32 bit computer. I need to create the drive from my 64 bit Linux Mint computer.

Which balena program should I download, the 64 bit for the computer I am using or the 32 bit for the drive I am making?

Help Please?

Download the version for the computer you will be running Etcher on. (64 bit in your case)
