oops transposed the response  ==>> choose option 1. 

Option 2 
is for minimalist 
cluster systems testing.

OK, (1) can be moved to another system or in a container for those
experiments. I'll choose door number (2).

Experimentation. I trying to only use 64 bit for minimalistic systems
development for both embedded and larger linux systems. The idea it to
be able to aggregate a variety of 64 bit only systems into clusters. Not
really worth going into in depth. Of the 33 packages that recompiled with
32 bit requirements, none are critical to the cluster development work,
so I'll just move that work onto a more appropriate system(s).


thx,
