Care to remind me what the advantages of multilib builds are ? I'm looking at the "whole system" here, most of which is in BLFS (or, for existing multilib users, cblfs).
Sure, I know how to build my desktop with this part 64-bit and that part 32-bit, and how to keep the gnome stuff happy (I only ever build kde as 64-bit on multilib). I'm not sure I'm keen on forcing that onto BLFS, there is enough trouble catching up to 6.4. Note: I'm a lilo user on my pure64 box, so "can build grub" isn't enough to convince me. ĸen, who does build multilib desktops, but nowadays only on ppc64. -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
