Bluewhite64 12.2 IA32 Emulation miniHOWTO
-------------------------------------------

Bluewhite64 Linux 12.2 support the IA32 emulation. The emulation consist in a 32-bit 
run-time libraries packages collection (not all) from Slackware 12.2. Huge Thanks!
Also, the Linux kernel(s) are built with the IA32 Emulation enabled. 

All you gave to do is to install all this packages from the extra/ia32-emulations
directory. The packages will be installed in /lib32 and /usr/lib32 directory, so, you 
don't have to worry about to mess up with the 64-bit libs ;). 


Installation
--------------
Get all packages found in extra/ia32-emulation/* and use the 'installpkg *.tgz' command 
to install all packages. Now your system have the IA32 emulation enabled ;).

If the above packages are not working as you expected then you can install the IA32 packages 
found in the pasture/ia32-emulation folder.

NOTES:
========
* The 32-bit emulation is designed ONLY to run 32-bit 3rd party programs on Bluewhite64 12.2!
* You may NOT install official Slackware packages on your system, they
  are not compatible and will overwrite the existing 64-bit libs and programs.
    (To run 32-bit Mozilla Firefox, download the archive from www.mozilla.com,
    extract it in your home directory, cd in to the firefox directory and run 
    Firefox with './firefox' command.  You can rename it to firefox32 and 
    place a link to your desktop ;)
* The 32-bit compilation support is disabled and you cannot create 32-bit binaries.  
* If you want to run 3rd party 32-bit applications, make sure that you are install
    the 32-bit libraries in /lib32 or /usr/lib32 and run ldconfig.

More information about running 32-bit programs on Bluewhite64 Linux please visit
the Bluewhite64 Linux forums at the "How it's made?" section.

Have fun & Enjoy!
