Wouldn't it be slightly different for each arch though? In my experience for example, setting up nVidia drivers was completely different for amd64 as it was for x86... i.e. x86 you could install the nvidia drivers using the install script from the nvidia website, and on amd64 you have to compile a kernel module yourself. On the other hand of course, it could be "generalized", as Debian has it's own heavily modified version of Gnome doesn't it? Therefore the amd64 will be based on the x86 version anyway (afaik, most, if not all packages on amd64 are based on x86.). I'm not entirely in the know about everything though, so that's just my view/opinion/whatever you like to call it :) ___________________________________ Sent Using: Total Carnage WebMail, with NOCC, http://nocc.sourceforge.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
