Thanks for the link!
I want to run sarge 32bit for now, since I want to avoid the hassle
with 32/64bit compatibility for the time being. Furthermore almost
noone is compiling stuff for 64bit now and I don't want to wait if
i.e. a new version of FF or TB comes out. Maybe in a year, when there
is more stuff available for 64bit and the AMD64 port has matured even
more, I'll install the 64bit port.

Ahh...it's a pain if everything works! I know ;-)
So if 32bit sid works great, 32bit sarge will do too ?
So if I install 32bit sarge on AMD64, is it fully compatible to a
32bit system ? I mean, can I run all 32bit compiled stuff ?
Thanks Rodney! Thanks Clive!
Best regards,
Hannes.
