21 It sounds like I need to go multilib for now and when everything gets
22 sorted out for pure 64 bit, then switch to pure 64. I say this because
23 I can switch from mulitlib to no-multilib without reinstalling. The
24 reverse is not the case and requires a re-install. Correct?

26 I'm glad I came on here and asked questions now. O_O
