[izpack-users] os.arch

[Jo Vark]

Hi Marc,
This is the output of 'uname -a'
Linux <######> 2.4.21-15.EL #1 SMP Thu Apr 22 00:09:47
EDT 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 
from the above it is quite clear that the arch should
be x86_64
The output of 'uname -i' usually gives the correct
architecture (definitely on linux, not sure about sun
etc).
for me on a 64 bit machine: 
>uname -i
x86_64
on a 32 bit machine:
>uname -i
i386
Thanks.
