Thank you Matt. Does this mean that I can safely use rpm to install a 32 bit application onto my "64 bit" system? Say from the same SuSE disks? Yes. Use yast to install the software, and you should be save anyway. Apt should be fine too. look in /lib and /usr/lib, all that stuff is 32 bit. Many libs are installed as both a 32 bit and a 64 bit version, so you can run either 64 bit or 32 bit apps using them. The kernel and its modules is of course pure 64 bit. Here a mix is not used. Regards, Matt Thanks again Matt. Muchly appreciated. Some of my fears of the unknown have been dissipated. Regards, Colin
