[SOLVED] Mixing x86_64 and i586 programs?
by tkmm » May 24th, '13, 00:22
Hello! I haven't run a 64bit OS until Mageia 3 came out. I want to install wine, but whe I select it in MCC or with urpmi I notice that some of the packages are for i586. Is it 'safe' to install i586 packages on a 64bit system running a 64bit OS? Thank you.

Yes, you can run 32 bit software.
There are 10 types of people, those who understand binary & those who don't.
