Yes, that is for me the only but biggest disadvantage. It is a little bit
strange to have two distributions only because you wants to compile one or
two packages for your second 686 pc.

I'm a little bit disapointed, not from arch64 or another 64bit distribution,
it is because as all starts i read that 64bit processors can run 32bit apps
at the same time with nearly the same performance and so i was so i innocent
to believe that i can install 64bit and 32bit apps together. Now some times
later my favorit distribution use chroot and the other ones who use multilib
be not my favorits.

Again, i can understand and respect that arch64 goes his way. But to install
the 686 version of archlinux inside of arch64 is realy not a fantastic
solution for me normal user and it sounds too hard because my dream is to
use "gcc -m32" in a PKGBUILD without thinking too much about it. But what is
perfect? -)

See you, Attila
