I dual-boot my laptop (actually triple-boot if you include 7.x) and have all 3 filesystem trees visible. I have my 6.x/amd64 paths setup to see the 6.x/i386 executables. Mostly it works OK but I have run into a couple of problems when building a 6.x/amd64 port and the port build process had found a 6.x/i386 version of a dependency - which causes the port build to fail at some later point. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --5xSkJheCpeK0RUEJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHvTOh/opHv/APuIcRAsPcAKCdifdY48/UwQytclWn9NxXiGJCbACgqYCZ 6wY/rNdYMGp0pX5P1ARS5qE= =5JiJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5xSkJheCpeK0RUEJ--
