Hi Rich,

I am thinking multilib as a way to run the apps/libs of 32bit on 64 bit or vice versa.

But may I know why is multilib not available for tinycore ?

If it is due to not compiling it, I can compile it.

curaga:
It is a system-level config thing, which adds complexity to the entire system. We don't want to support that. You would need to recompile the entire base, basically.

xor:
* older 32-bit applications are now available with open source 64-bit patch updates (32-bit not required)

* I want the 64 bit steam version to be created for TCL.

and also

* All linux distributions support steam.
in my own country; when I recommend TCL to my close circle
more than half asked if they were running steam.

This is the README for the Steam for Linux client.
Hardware and Software Requirements

Steam for Linux requires the following:

    1 GHz Pentium 4 or AMD Opteron with:
        x86-64 (AMD64) instruction set
        CMPXCHG16B instruction support (cx16 in /proc/cpuinfo flags)
        SSE3 instruction support (pni in /proc/cpuinfo flags)
    512 megabytes of RAM and 5 gigabytes of hard drive space, or better
    Internet connection (Cable/DSL speeds recommended)
    Latest Ubuntu LTS, fully updated
    64-bit (x86-64, AMD64) Linux kernel
    64-bit (x86-64, AMD64) and 32-bit (i386, IA32) graphics drivers and glibc
...

So you will need to convince either:

* steam to build a pure 64-bit version
or
* somebody to build a 32/64-bit multilib fork of tinycore
