However, I've not compiled a 32 bit system on a 64 bit host so you might run into some trouble if you plan on doing that. There have been some problems with a 64 bit only system but most of these are obsolete since a few years. There were problems with 32 bit proprietary flash versions and if you want to use Wine you need some 32 bit libraries. -- Willie
