Subject: [gentoo-user] amd64/x86
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 10:42:44 +0100 (MET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <403.1140687764@www045.gmx.net> (raw)

Hi,

I'm going to install Gentoo on Athlon64-based workstation,
but I'm a little confused about hardware profiles and their
compatibility:

If I select now amd64, will I be able later to install and
use x86 software, if there is no amd64 release (for example
precompiled game-binaries, or even some sources which are
only for x86, not amd64)? 

Or do I have to use x86 installation profile?

Jarry
