Hi,

I installed freebsd 6.0 AMD64 version.

I'm starting to feel it aint a so good idea 
because some commercial vendors doesnt provide binairies for it...
PDFLIb, zend optimizer, etc

So I was wandering, in the worst case scenario 
where I would need to install the ia32 version of 
freebsd 6.0 is there an easy way to make 
buildworld (while specifying I need IA32 instead 
of AMD64) or is it a complete install from scratch ?

Also: when you do a make buildworld, does it 
recompile all ports on the systhem or just the os ?

Thanks
