Sorry about that. I thought you were talking about your actual system. Your
toolchain is only something you can save to use to build your actual system,
correct? If so, then yes. I would try to keep it as minimal as possible as
well.

Good idea. That isn't how most distros do it?

Actually, come to think of it, I haven't had much problems probably in the past
year or so with most 64bit apps. I may have just got into the 64bit linux world
a little earlier than I should have. I remember having to use quite a few 32bit
applications instead of 64bit, just to relieve myself of the headaches. Firefox
comes to mind as one of the bigger ones.

Nick
