Thank you for the suggestion. I'm not sure why I have been so convinced
that "Buster" was the last 32-bit release of Debian, but I will
investigate. On a personal note, I will mention that I was programming and
using Gnu/Linux for many years and then stopped any kind of such, aside
from email, for about 8 years. I lost a lot of knowledge in  that time and
have been slowly, painfully re-learning. And relying heavily on people
like you to offer me a clue here and there.

Debian 12 (aka Bookworm) still has an x86-32 build; however, they 
stopped building 32-bit kernels at 6.10.x in "testing" (Trixie).? On 
their "testing" download page 
<https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>, there is no longer an 
i386 option listed.

The link below is a good explanation of Debian's plans going forward.
