Since you mentioned me. I wish I could set up a quicky from my 4 core
64 bit machine to compile 32 bit packages for a older 2GHz machine that
belongs to a friend. I was going to put Mandriva on it but the CD won;t
boot up properly. It stops at starting udev. Grrrrr.
How hard is it to set up a 64 bit machine to compile programs for a 32
bit system?
