ATM I am running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, but I notice that some programs,

Will I be able to install and run these apps?
Yes, you will. the 32bit packages supplied allow you to run all 32-bit
programs. Just install e.g. the 32-bit firefox and YaST will install
the needed 32-bit packages.
If not, how do I force the openSUSE installation to allow me to install a
32bit OS? I only have 2G RAM, so no real need for 64bit.
64-bit might help even with smaller RAM - the CPU has extra registers
that allow some speed up...

Many thanks, Andreas.
