That's what I thought...  shouldn't need libraries to boot...

I've noticed ld-linux.so.2 in the System Activity window...  usually 
with Acroread... hmmm...

I did some digging.  It seems that I have only 2 things that require the 
32-bit libraries... acroread and flash  (both for the FF plugins).  I 
suppose I could dump the acroread plugin (just view it in the 64-bit 
program) but flash??? gah.
