Hey Benny!

 BP> a new precompiled problem ?,

Same problem that ever was.  However in this case I updated to slackware64-current dated Friday the 13th and it installed and is now booted on the laptop in question (Acer Swift 3).  Also slackware64-15.0 insttalled on there just fine.

 BP> who uses 32bit in 2023 ?,

I don't know.  Last one I had was a i486 around 2004-ish.  Since it died it has been pure 64-bit here.  Also my first x86_64 was built using a cross-compiler on a 32-bit system (dual 933MHz p3's) just before the unofficial demise of 32-bit in this neck of the woods.

 BP> we still have no need for the alpha :=)

We'll never know will we?  Last time I was offered one was back in 1997-ish and I would have had to pay the shipping.  I turned it down.  I am guessing it was the right thing to do.

Life is good,
Maurice
