Thankyou somuch lubos for the reply :-) I installed some software from dotdeb following the advice on http://dotdeb.org/news/dotdeb_now_available_for_amd64 hope it will automatically get packages for 64-bit amd and not 32 bit x86 ? how do I check if the packages installed are for 64 bit? is it that only 64-bit packages can be installed or 32-bit packages can also slip in if the /etc/apt/source.list is not edited carefully? Thankyou so much again for you help :-) kind regards Siju
