I will test that now and see if that is the case. The source from No Machine will not compile on x86_64, or we would have an x86_64 version. Since the source did not work for x86_64, I was concentrating on making that work and I didn't think to try to make the i386 version work on x86_64 :) For the purposes of testing, could you please manually download them and install ... and if everything i386 required to support NX/FREENX is in the base x86_64 repo already, then when we move these into production, I can also put it into the x86_64 repo too. I am going to start looking at that aspect of it right now. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
