I agree that there are problems with certain applications and 64bit - for example Red Hat satellite requires 32-bit environment... It would be nice if they supported 64-bit installs too.

I'd love to run everything on 64-bit here, but unfortunately our applications aren't certified for it. I'll let the list know whether non-sparse disk images/files solve the problem. Y'know, unless I get death threats telling me not to. Ben -- Unix Support, MISD, University of Cambridge, England Plugger of wire, typer of keyboard, imparter of Clue Life Is Short.
