Portage is probably ok as long as it's as up to date as the latest source tarball. i.e. if the latest source tarball is 20050823, but portage is stuck on 20050615, you probably want to go with the source tarball. I'll update the web page after I figure out good wording. > 2) I happen to be typing this back on an AMD64 machine that has > Wine-20050725 installed, but I do not know if Wine is really supported > on a 64-bit machine running a 64-bit kernel.

You should be able to run a 32 bit version of Wine just fine as long as your system has support for 32 bit apps in userland. (Debian doesn't, but most 64 bit distros do.) So try the 64 bit system first, it might just work. - Dan _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
