Thanks - good idea. I've looked at the section of the pacman log, which 
is helpful. Most of the 32-bit stuff in the remove list was installed by 
the infinality install, so I should be able to get rid of it without too 
many problems. The annoying part is the only reason I have 32-bit 
support installed at all is because I've got a Brother laser 
printer/scanner which needs the Brother lpd drivers, which are only 
available in 32-bit.

I'll give it a try tomorrow - use Rsd and let it run, then see if I can 
get the normal freetype support back in. Hope it works...

Paul.
