My impression is that the skype "x86_64" rpm is still the same 32-bit application that ships in their 32-bit package. Fortunately, an x86-64 Fedora installation can easily run also 32-bit applications. -Joonas -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
