It's just software, so there's always a way, but SmartOS has never supported 32-bit so you will need to do a huge amount of engineering work by yourself to achieve this. It's not simply a case of reverting some patches and booting a custom build. -- Jonathan Perkin - Joyent, Inc. - www.joyent.com ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
