Yay! Thanks to help from Peter Cordes, I was able to install the amd64 k8 smp kernel from sid, amd64-libs, and iptables from pure64 -- and it works! Great work, everyone! A few questions: 1) Is ALSA going to remain unusable until I upgrade alsa-base/alsa-utils to 64-bit versions from pure64? If so, do I have to upgrade all of my sound applications to ones from pure64? 2) Can 64-bit apps run on a 32-bit Xserver? Am I going to end up with an ugly spaghetti mess of 32 and 64 bit apps if I continue this piecemeal upgrading route? I wish I had money to pay someone to make dist-upgrade magically work for sid -> pure64/amd64 conversion! Cheers, -s
