Running 64-bit tools in Ubuntu 32-bit
Hey!
First of all: yes, I have searched forums, but I couldn't find a useable answer.
I'm a total Ubuntu noob, so this question may be stupid or already answered somewhere else.
Is it possible to execute a 64-bit tool on my 32-bit machine? I'm playing around with Ubuntu to modify a LiveSuite flashable Android image for my tablet. I'm using this website as my guide. Everything works as planned, expect when I want to extract system.fex. When I type the command it says: "cannot execute binairy file". This is probably because the tool used for it is intended for 64-bit machines.
Does anyone know how to still extract the file/execute the command? I think I can't install Ubuntu 64-bit on my computer with this processor: Intel® Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40GHz × 2 .
Many thanks in advance!

It's not possible to run 64-bit software on a 32-bit OS.

Ah, well, that's a shame. Does someone know how to extract the system.fex file then?

Code:
grep -q "^flags.*\blm\b" /proc/cpuinfo && echo "Yes you have a 64 bit cpu" || echo "No 64 bit for you"
