Right; that's just the name used to describe the other than multilib |
| 11 |
liveDVD. Ah, (like turning on) I see that multilib is the 64+32 bit |
| 12 |
version. I now do not understand why 'hybrid" was used at all... |
| 13 |
oh well. |

OK, got it. |
| 22 |
.... |

When I look in ~pub/gentoo/releases/amd64/11.0/ |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I see these: |
| 26 |
livedvd-amd64-multilib-11.0.iso |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-11.0.iso |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
But the author's review used the term |
| 31 |
"hybrid" and therefor confused me.... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
it would seem that the 32ul-11.0.iso |
| 34 |
version would be the one to run 32 |
| 35 |
bit software on? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
but when you look at profile choices |
| 38 |
on a 64bit AMD system, you see |
| 39 |
"no-multilib" implying that everything |
| 40 |
is multilib, unless specified.... |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Sorry for being so dense on this. |
| 43 |
the name "hybrid" just confused me |
| 44 |
to no end, when actually it was the 64-bit-only |
| 45 |
version of the software;profile;etc.... |
