I've just ordered a new workstation, with a Core 2 Quad CPU. I want to run OpenSUSE with a 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userland on it. I have not had a 64-bit CPU desktop with OpenSUSE yet, so I'm asking for advice -- what's the best way to do it? (My Google foo was not good enough to get good answers. :-( )
AFAIU, 64-bit OpenSUSE comes with 32-bit userland programs. Do I get all programs this way, or only a selection?
AFAIK, you can opt to install the 32bit version of all of them. It doesn't happen automagically though. I don't think there is a single tickbox to say 32bit or 64bit applications.
I don't need automatisms, I'll script them myself anyhow. It's sufficient that they are installable at all. These are special 32-bit RPMs for the 64-bit distribution, aren't they? Or can one install RPMs from 32-bit OpenSUSE into a 64-bit installation?
