Took your advice Dennis. Got rid of Mandriva on that box and installed Suse
10.1. It's happily updating now... Too bad as I, just this morning, wasted
another $132.00 U.S. on the club page to extend my membership another year.
Nobody ever accused me of being real smart.

just now getting into this ,,, I been running a 64 bit version of mandy
since about 10.0, all have run just fine for my use, but never
'flawlessly' just considerably better than 64bit M$ products I can buy...
I have tried suse64, and various 64 bit other Linux distros up the yang,
I just happen to find, (and partially because I know it from the 32 bit
versions), Mandy just works fine for me, 64 bit and all.
Now if I had to guess, I would guess Phil adds some PLF sources or SoS,
so to get the updated xorg version or accel 3D, and that is where he
finds 32 bit programs added to his box as soon as he installs....
AND
if just using a different distro was not an option, (and hell, use what
works for you, I always say) he might have been able to use the
"upgrade" option from his cd/dvd that he is installing Mandriva with,
just let it run, and see if it did not fix up his urpmi database to a 64
bit version all the way, if that is what he desires.
64 bit hardware accel drivers,,, _not_ been really really good for
me,,, but then I don't reallllly NEED to game...
BTW, was there some problem in the OP that using a mixed 32/64 bit
environment caused, other than upgrading automagically?
