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. -- 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.
