This might not help during the install, but file /bin/ls will tell you whether it's a 64bit or 32bit executable. ldd /bin/ls will print 64bit memory addresses. During the install, cat /proc/self/maps will show 32 or 64bit memory addresses, and that should depend on whether cat is 64 or 32bit, not just the kernel. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , des.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
