boinc on amd64

[Frank S. Thomas]

Hi,

Please send your mail the next time to:
Debian BOINC Maintainers <pkg-boinc-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>  
instead of to individual developers only, thanks.

An easy solution was implemented in the BOINC version that was uploaded to 
Debian unstable yesterday, 5.4.11-1. It will be in etch in probably ten days 
at the earliest. If it is in etch and you have it installed, please read 
paragraph 4 in the /usr/share/doc/boinc-client/README.Debian file. It 
explains how to set up your BOINC client to use 32bit applications on AMD64.

HTH,
Frank
