Try calling file on some essential system binary, f.e. /sbin/init: $ file /sbin/init /sbin/init: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped In my case the output of file indicates that I have a 64-bit system. -- Regards, Denis Borisevich -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [email protected] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
