Hello i am instructed to install 32 bit host libraries before starting an installation. Does anyone know if ubuntu 10.10 has that by default? If not how can i install this?

Unless you have more than 4GB of RAM installing 32-bit Ubuntu would be the easiest solution.

If you already have a 64-bit system, start with installing ia32-libs in Synaptic or with apt-get.
