When I run eselect list profile, nothing 64 bit shows up at all. I guess this is because of my settings in make.conf tho. Since I can't see the FULL list, I had to ask. Could someone post the output of eselect list profile from a 64 bit system? That would clear up some muddy water for me. I'm making notes on all this. I hope to get it right on the first install. ;-) Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
