Instead it deals with packaging so you can have sets of packages per architecture, shared architecture independant packages and also 32/64bit mixed systems. A fat binary is just a waste of disk space. It's not the binary that costs you - its the testing, configuration and maintenance. Not only that many binaries include data files that are specific to the system .. which fat binaries alone won't solve. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
