Ok. If you can boot from CD that is way easier. However, it should be |
| 15 |
possible to do a chroot. However, to do that you must use a 64 bit |
| 16 |
kernel. A 64bit kernel is however fully capable to run a 32 bit system. |
| 17 |
Then you can do a normal chroot setup with a 64 bit userland. It should |
| 18 |
be possible to build a 64bit kernel by crosscompiling, or by taking it |
| 19 |
from the livecd. |
