 +The HOWTO states that when using proprietary NVidia drivers, the user must install the 64-bit as well as the 32-bit version of the driver. I'm right now working on a Slackware64 desktop with the latest NVidia drivers. When installing the 64-bit driver (downloaded straight from NVidia), the installer offers to "Install NVIDIA's 32-bit compatibility OpenGL libraries? (yes/no)". On the other hand, it's impossible to launch the stock 32-bit installer on Slackware64. It just complains about the driver being the wrong architecture for the system.

 +Hi Jonni, you did not see the single-line "lftp" command in the [[slackware:multilib#the_quick_n_dirty_instructions|quick and dirty instructions]] which will download everything for you? \\  --- //[[wiki:user:alienbob|Eric Hameleers]] 2012/11/26 09:30//

 +In the list of multilib packages for Slackware 64-14.1, this: \\
 +gcc-g++-4.8.@_multilib-x86_64-1alien.txz \\
 +should be: \\
 +gcc-g++-4.8.2_multilib-x86_64-1alien.txz

 +The lftp command seems to download //every// version of multilib //ever//... was taking quite, quite a long time (starting from 13.0 through versions of 14 when all I wanted was current)!--//[[Wiki:user:dchmelik]] 2020/7/29
