You see it is a preference more than a requirement. And we are all very eager to show off our skills. So this type of question never gets a straight answer.

	I just loaded a partition /dev/sda2 on my computer with a 
downloaded 9.10 64 bit .iso and it loaded just exactly like 
the 32 bit 9.10 I am using now did. I checked the cd-rom and 
it is perfect.

	On the hard drive it came up fitting the 17 inch liquid 
crystal monitor and looking good. It wanted to load a special 
image software that will allow 3d and such. I went to 
/etc/fstab and added a line that brings in my 32 bit 
/home/karl that is on /dev/sda12.

	This was too much it seems. The 64 bit came up in 640x1200 or 
like that and it looks terrible.

	I will stop loading the old 32bit /karl and see if it looks 
better.

	If anyone has ideas on how to load the 32bit /home/karl on a 
64bit 9.10 I would like to hear them.
