So I have the decision of using pure 64 bit libs only, or mixing 32bit and 64bit? As for the manpower part(s^it), a bit tricky and time consuming.(took all day to build most of the packages, on the lfs build seemed not as long due to not worrying where the locations of the libs go). In any case if this things boots it boots, if it boots but acts sluggish, or any oddities, Ill revert using it. Justin P.
