first, I'm not sure what your prompt means ($PS1). did you create a 
different prompt for your 32-bit? Is that in the 32-bit handbook?

second, I think your install-crossover-standard-5.0.0.sh doesn't have 
the execute bit set (-rw-r--r-- when you do a ls -l). you should be able 
to still run it as "l32 sh install-crossover-..." (notice the "sh" at 
the beginning). To make it an executable script, you can do "chmod +x 
install-cross-...". However, that's not required.

third, I'm concerned how your environment variables are dissappearing 
when you switch to the new environment. l32 doesn't touch your 
environment, and it should (theoretically) inherit the same environment 
as the parent that ran it.

As a side note, you can force the DISPLAY variable to be set like so:

$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ xterm

I'd try the xterm test using the old method:

[with sudo installed]
$ sudo linux32 chroot /mnt/gentoo32 su - $USER -c xterm

[without sudo install]
$ su -c "linux32 chroot /mnt/gentoo32 su - $USER -c xterm"

I'm thinking that there must be a difference between your /etc/profile, 
/etc/bash/bashrc, ~/.profile, and ~/.bashrc and mine and Mark's.

Is anyone else having issues with the DISPLAY variable not carrying over 
from the 64-bit to the 32-bit environment?
