Thanks for the suggestion. I don't know anything about multiarch. I'd
like to know the implications of what you're suggesting before I do it.
I see that there is a wide tree of documentation at
https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch, but I'm not sure what to look at
first. Can you guide me a little bit in my reading?
Thanks,
Ben.
