Re: 64 bit versions of strace and gdb

2005-05-23 Thread Ben Collins
I had assumed it would be included with the main package. Let me check. Ok, strace includes strace64 binary. Not sure what the deal is with gdb. I'll check with the maintainer to see what happened to that patch. On Tue, May 17, 2005 at 12:18:57PM -0700, David S. Miller wrote: > On Tue, 17 May 200

Hi, Assuming you have a keyboard attached to the machine, type STOP-a while booting to get the prom prompt, then type "boot cdrom". This will work as long as the alias for the cdrom is set up up correctly. If not, or if I have missed the point of your question, you'd better wait for someone more e

You're right. Didn't get down that far. As far as I'm concerned, the default 64-bit is the right thing. But it's hard to convince long time users that a machine that is 99% 32-bit userspace, should compile 64-bit binaries by default, when 99% of the time, those same people are going to want 32-bit.
