Hi Quentin :) but there's no way to add 32bit libs in addition to the same 64bit libs, something that is needed for some applications, resp. there is the lib and lib32 directory, anyway there seems to be no way of include 32bit repositories in a clean way, like it is possible for Suse. I'm not able to install any LightScribe stuff, neither from the LightScribe nor from the LaCie homepage, neither in the 64bit environment, nor in the 32bit chroot. I only could compile Animata in the chroot environment, there are patches for a 64bit environment, but 1. it's not easy to add this patches and 2. at least Marije changed from 64bit to chroot, because Animata was broken on 64bit. Any hints how to add LightScribe to my 64 Studio are welcome. This, maybe an older version, is fine for different versions of Suse 11 64bit: http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/linux/index.aspx Please let me know how to install them, you don't need a LightScribe drive for the installation ;). It isn't fine for 64 Studio 2.1 and isn't on 64 Studio 3.0-beta3, on 3.0-beta3 it also doesn't work in the chroot environment.
