One of the instructions said I should edit /etc/inittab and change id:3:initdefault: to id:4:initdefault: in order to have the system boot into X by default. I did that, and did a restart. Instead of booting into X I got a command line asking me to enter a runlevel. I entered 4 and the boot process continued normally. Is there something I missed? I thought booting into X would go strait to the X login screen.
Dick, I assume you edited /etc/inittab as root. You can look at the file as a user, too, and confirm that it shows initdefault as 4. If you have applications that were originally installed on a 32-bit system and you have the source code you can try re-compiling them on the 64-bit system. If you don't have the source then you'll need to install all of AlienBOB's multilibs, including the compatability ones.
