7 I have 2G. Couldn't I do 32-bit userland and 32-bit kernel? The
8 reason for a 32-bit kernel is because I need to compile the Nortel VPN
9 client and it is binary only crap and has 32-bit only binary modules.
10 Well, the code actually uses a module wrapper which I can compile
11 64-bit but then it barfs trying to link with the 32-bit only modules
12 provided.
13
14 I have not found any other way to connect to my works VPN than with the
15 Nortel VPN client and even that is tough to get to work.
16
17 Out of curiosity, how would I do a 32-bit userland with 64-bit kernel?
18 Would I just change CHOST to x86_64 when I compile the kernel?
