(haven't tested in 32bit but that appears to be sorted out. new menu in one of the last screenies looks good and clear to my eyes).
Quoting you:
>"It gave me no gui"
Do you mean no menu? Please forgive me that I do not understand: in
my mind, either you have a gui or you have a terminal.
>"i think it was processing things because after i activated it the machine

That is strange. I think I read somewhere that tahpup64 comes with a 32-
bit sort of patch, like a "32-bit compatibility" sfs?
Because in JL 604 it just did nothing, as I said. I rebooted with no waiting.
This MRUD script has a lot of variables, and it does take perhaps a little
over a minute sometimes on my computer, at first launch, before the
menu pops up. So maybe the aemenu-pango was actually trying to
operate with the 32-bit compatibility patch when you rebooted?
(I may be talking through my hat here, but by comparison, trying to
launch my script on the JL 604 did absolutely nothing.)

In any case, do you think you could try to compile vovchilk's aemenu-
pango on your TahrPup64? I do not have this 64-bit TahrPup.
I think a successful compile of the aemenu-pango on TahrPup 64-bit
would save a lot of people a lot of grief -- if it was offered as an option.
Thanks in advance.
(Vovchilk's source for the aemenu-pango is in one of the first posts of his
"Hacked aemenu" thread.)
