If you are running antiX 64 bit, can you install 32 bit program and will they work?

the short answer is yes. the long answer is that you need to make sure the i386 architecture is enabled (I don't remember if it is by default or not).

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update

should do the trick.

Yes but your windscribe repos look like they don't work.

Thanks for looking at this.

Windscribe is a VPN client and service on my laptop. Should I be concerned about this or do anything about it?

Wait and Try again. 404 error means windscribe server was offline.

That. Or your windscribe repo link is no good.
