Could you please be a bit more specific? Which two applications are you talking about? As a side note, there is no stable release of debian for amd64 architecture. Your criticism would be justified if you see the above mentioned problems in a stable release of Debian. Please see http://www.debian.org/ports/ for a list of architectures supported by Debian. If you are using testing/unstable distributions, the applications are bound to break sooner or later. thanks raju -- http://kamaraju.googlepages.com/cornell-bazaar http://groups.google.com/group/cornell-bazaar/about -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
