Hi, Matthew:
Thank you very much. I forget to post here 3 days ago, so I did that.
I am sorry if any offence. 
I am just curious about this:
-------------
http://www.linuxtx.org/amd64faq.html, the note for apt is:                      
At this time, apt is *not* biarch compatible, but I am told this is
being * addressed.
-------------
Is that true ? Or should I move to yum or smart in the future ?
The reason I asked again is that I have so many scripts based on apt in
RedHat/Fedora/Mandrake, if I have to move to yum or smart, I must dig a
lot.
I am wondering if my scripts like:
------------
apt-get dist-upgrade -o RPM::Hold::="openssl" -o RPM::Hold::="glibc"
apt-get -y --reinstall -o RPM::RootDir="/tftpboot/node_root/" -o RPM::Install -Options::="--force" -o RPM::Install-Options::="--nodeps" -o RPM::Install-Option
 s::="--noscripts" install kernel-2.4.20-8
------------
or specify the arch in /etc/apt.conf
------------
Architecture "i586";
------------
works in yum or smart ? Does yum or smart has the similiar functions to
do this ?

Thanks again.

Steven.
