Although this is the case for x86_64, it is _NOT_ the case for ppc64 (or sparc64 if someone is ever demented enough to do it ;) ppc64 Linux ships with a largely 32-bit userland + a 64-bit kernel. And since the Xen tools are python, doing 64-bit tools in an environment like that gets very tricky -- the various scripting languages are not done in such a way that you can easily install both 32 and 64-bit versions Jeremy _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
