This means your MIXING the two and is only recommended once the system is |

I did not set any of the flags as I wanted to get the system up and running |
| 28 |
first. What I was doing was pointing out that if I needed to set the ~x86 |
| 29 |
flag on any packages then I would do so via the above stated file. |

Stable is fine.. I really dont understand how some modules have ANY thing to |

Sounds to me you just re-installed before making sure you had all your ducks |

I would have to disagree with you on this. I do not believe that it is a |
| 49 |
config issue I beleive that many of the x86 packages still do not play well |
| 50 |
with each other, that is what I am saying needs fixed. |
