If you've installed the i386 version of Debian, then you're running entirely in 32 bit mode. The k8 kernel is just an optimised build for your processor, it doesn't do 64 bit. Your best bet is to install the amd64 version, and (at least in Debian, as it doesn't support bi- or multi-arch) run your 32 bit software in a chroot. - Jeff -- GNOME Summit: October 8th-10th http://live.gnome.org/Boston2005 "A 'lame' server is a server that is SUPPOSED to be authoritative, but, when asked, says: 'Me?
