Agreed. Personally, I'd like to see multilib support (since there is only a 32-bit zsnes, and I do use the Flash plugin from time to time in FF also (but note: not enough to get rid of the flashblock extension, of course)). However, I have a feeling that multilib would be harder to support than pure64. > And the LiveCD could be useful for that end, as well, since these > days it comes with the option to boot a 64-bit kernel. While that is true, and the LiveCD works great to run 64-bit stuff inside a chroot, the CD does not come with a 64-bit userspace. (So you can't run 64-bit binaries outside a chroot.) To build a pure64 system, you'd therefore have to cross-compile, and I'm not sure we want to do that in the book (since it's what CLFS is for). OTOH, adding an entire 64-bit userspace to the livecd probably won't work either. Possibly the only solution would be a separate 64-bit livecd, but that's a bunch more work for the maintainers (and may not even be possible for them to build, I don't know). :-( -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGm1FRS5vET1Wea5wRA6udAJ9RkE5IxHBTQP5Ffpp1Y4G/eYZBawCfS8+Z lgeOMCa2YzrNj85xZA7xLV4= =idhQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
