Multilib is what you need to > run 32 bit software. Right; that's just the name used to describe the other than multilib liveDVD. Ah, (like turning on) I see that multilib is the 64+32 bit version. I now do not understand why 'hybrid" was used at all... oh well. > > 1) Wine is 32-bit > > 2) Walter had a 64-bit only system > > 3) Walter had 2 choices: > > a) Wipe the system and start over making it a multi-lib system > > b) Create a 32-bit chroot OK, got it. .... When I look in ~pub/gentoo/releases/amd64/11.0/ I see these: livedvd-amd64-multilib-11.0.iso livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-11.0.iso But the author's review used the term "hybrid" and therefor confused me.... it would seem that the 32ul-11.0.iso version would be the one to run 32 bit software on? but when you look at profile choices on a 64bit AMD system, you see "no-multilib" implying that everything is multilib, unless specified.... Sorry for being so dense on this. the name "hybrid" just confused me to no end, when actually it was the 64-bit-only version of the software;profile;etc.... thanks, James
