Generally yes, or that's my understanding. |

Yes, it's based on the software_ you_ choose to install. I may be |
| 25 |
wrong but I think a default Gentoo 64-bit install to the level of |
| 26 |
@system booting the machine and little at all in |
| 27 |
/var/lib/portage/world won't install the 32-bit emulation libraries. |
| 28 |
|

Run |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
eix -I emul-linux-x86 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
to see which ones you have installed and |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
equery depends |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
to see what packages depend on each one you do have installed. (If any) |
| 38 |
|

Hope this helps, |
