Thank you for the follow-up. I apologize for being so terse. Researching multiarch turned up no single package or even a suggestion of multiple specific files. I did find: dpkg --add-architecture i386 This seemed like a multiarch solution but in fact did not resolve the ATI installation problem. The only clue I got was through Synaptic. I found multiarch content using Synaptic. There were several packages as you indicated. When all packages were selected, some were marked in red. So I backed out and found which were not compatible due to red marks. It was not obvious why they were not compatible; when reviewing the descriptions, some had the same description but responded differently to selection matching. Through trial and error, I found the maximum set of components that could be mutually selected. Obviously I didn't know what I was doing; just because I got all green lights didn't tell me the selection was the solution. Most troubling was with the maximum count, those left out were i386. This just doesn't seem correct; why is the alternate architecture (i386) not selectable? It would seem that without the i386 components, it really wouldn't be a multiarch solution. Or did I miss something (again)? Is there a sequence that these need to be installed under? Ray -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
