SMAUG,            
             
 I installed SuSe 10, and I inserted the DVD as suggested in the manual, and                 
 from then on the desktop took over.  It automatically installed the 64 bit                 
 version.                 
                   
 I have just re-installed it from the CD's which is a 32 bit version, however          
 at re-boot my desktop tells me that I should have the 64 bit version          
 installed.                 
                   
 I am curious to know why did the desktop choose the 64 bit version over the             
 32 bit version.  Could there be a bug, or maybe I have a 64 bit desktop?                 
                   
 I have a Gigabyte Technology P4 Titan Series.  Model Name:- GA-8S661FXM-775

 I have an I have an Intel P4 3.2 GHz processor.                
          
 ** Furthermore I tried to install a game today ...  but to no avail.         
           
 I tried to log in as SU, and then typed sh ThinkTanks_v1.1.sh.bin (as I      
 previously did when I had a 32-bit installation)         
           
 I got the following error:-         
          
  linux:/home/dllavero # sh ThinkTanks_v1.1.sh.bin        
  Verifying archive integrity... All good.

 Is there a way I can install this game if it is that I have a 64 bit  
desktop??    
     
 Thanks,
