Re: running legacy apps compiled for 7.2 & 7.3 in x86-64

So looking through the archives, has anyone cleanly added the ia32 libraries
back in. A glob on rh9 i386 packages didn't quite do the trick for me, all

With Suse we experienced issues with floating point in 32bit emulation mode
amongst other things. (running 32bit in 64bit os mode)
