I agree that there are problems with certain applications and 64bit -
for example Red Hat satellite requires 32-bit environment... It would be
nice if they supported 64-bit installs too.

Noted, thank you.

Of course you're right. And if I'd taken a moment to think (sorry,
Monday
morning) I'd have realised/remembered that. I'd love to run everything
on 64-bit here, but unfortunately our applications aren't certified for
it.

I'll let the list know whether non-sparse disk images/files solve the
problem. Y'know, unless I get death threats telling me not to.
