It runs on 64-bit CPUs as if on 32. AFAIK, there are no plans for foreseeable future for a 64-bit kernel. I have no idea about GPT support. Does any 32-bit OS support GPT? There are eCS mailing lists for those interested in clues to more of what's going on. ecs-techni...@yahoogroups.com ecomstat...@yahoogroups.com > I had difficulties with the OS/2 installers.

I use none of the native partitioners since somewhere around 1999. DFSee, while not free, avoids potential incompatibilities, since it writes identical tables and legacy compatible MBR code whether used booted to DOS, OS/2, Windows, Linux or Mac. http://www.dfsee.com/ -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
