Perhaps, but then it wouldn't show up to 64 bit users if they don't add 32-bit core which is the suggestion here. I have to agree with Sander. The problem is not that 32-bit Core is enabled, it's just a usability/UI issue in the tools. This problem has been stated as a proposed solution (which happens a lot with tech discussions). Rephrase the subject of this thread as a problem, and a discussion about the best solution will result (although that is kinda happening already anyway!) :) Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/
