Another question, (I really feel like a newbie asking this but...), theorhetically, how can I take an x86 rpm (if I do not have the source code or an source rpm) and get it to install on a 64 bit system? Is it possible?

Here's a practical example,

The bjfilter rpms here do not have source rpms or source code (except for the common rpm). How can I get them on SUSE 10-.0 64 bit? I've noticed that 10.0 64bit will let you install x86 rpm's, but drivers..I though they HAD to be 64 bit.
