Funny, I have x86_64 SMP 4200+ Dual and run 32bit Firefox and modules w/o any problem. The problem is when running 64bit Firefox and 32bit modules. I have not found any 32bit software that causes any problem, when used properly, ie: firefox. iianm, x86_64 is backward compatable with x86_32, must be anyway. You say you are running 32bit on a 64bit arch (I don't know why, it's like having 4GB of memory and leaving 2GB in the desk drawer. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
