problems running orca v1.0 with -t

[John covici]

One thing I did check is -- I found a manifest on the cd and checked
the packages I have against those in that manifest and except for some
language packs and a couple of games, looks like I have all the
packages listed.  

Someone did tell me that there were problems that had something to do
with 64 bit processors -- I do have one, but I have  always told
ubuntu I had architecture i386, so would that apply to me?  Any ideas
how to get orca working properly?

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
How do
you spend it?
