However... $ ./setarch --list uname26 linux32 linux64 i386 i486 i586 i686 athlon x86_64 ia64 $ ./setarch x86_64 uname -m setarch: x86_64: Unrecognized architecture Huh? $ ./setarch ia64 uname -m setarch: ia64: Unrecognized architecture $ ./setarch linux64 uname -m i686 $ ./setarch --version setarch from util-linux 2.25.548-fe2c9 Maybe --list should not be listing x86_64 and ia64 on this machine? Or maybe the error message in these cases should say "Cannot set the requested architecture" instead? Benno -- http://www.fastmail.com - Access your email from home and the web
