Mostly that's what I want to do. However I'd like to do some Python QT development with PyQT4, and would like to test the performance using py-psycho (i386 bit only). In that situation, I'm not sure if I'll have to install QT4 as 32 bit or not, likewise for X... It's a bit messy, but we'll see what happens. Thanks for all the advice and help, -Jim Stapleton _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
