yes, you can run a 32 bits system on a 64 bits powerpc. try some things: type: $ file /bin/bash (or any executable) $ /lib/libc.so.6 $ uname -i what linux distribution are you using? try gentoo with 64 bits userland (choose 64bits userland in the installation): http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/ppc/2007.0/ppc64/installcd/ or debian w/ 64 bits userland (I think the best option): http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/ bye, rafael diniz -- +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Eng. da Computação @ Unicamp Rádio Muda, radiolivre.org, TV Piolho, tvlivre.org, www.midiaindependente.org Chave PGP: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x2FF86098 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
