Actually what I am going to do is to use slack 13.0 both 32 bit and 64 bit.

I will install both, using the same list of packages as much as possible.

After I get the 32 bit system in place I will rsync it to my laptop.
The desktop is a monster system (quad core, a lot of ram and a raid array).
It doesn't take long to install, it also doesn't take long to screw it up
either ;)
That way my laptop system is the same as the desktop system.
I need to keep the 32 bit on the desktop because I need to use wine.

My primary system will be the 64 bit install going to the 32 bit when
needed.

Just need to get the time to accomplish this ;)

Thanks

That's CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y
in the kernel config, instead of the default (in Slackware)
CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y

I haven't used Slackware 13 much, but I have been running wine in Slamd64
12.1. I think that 32-bit compatible libraries are out there somewhere for
64-bit Slackware 13, in Slamd64 they were installed by default.

What I am needed is the ability to keep a filesystem as read only so that
the changes go to a temp area. I use it to build software packages in a
chroot environment with changing the build environment.

I have a minimal install in a sub directory then I install the dependencies
into the build filsystem using unionfs or aufs2, so the build system stays
pristine , that what I can use the package on any of my systems as they are
not dependant on what the build system was.

For more info see: arch linux wiki on building in a clean chroot.
