so you wasted a lot of space. For what benefit again? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
And - because you seem to lack some understanding. There is no 'dirtying up'. |
| 25 |
So please, keep your dubios advise down. Chrooting just to be able to run an |
| 26 |
app is not a good choice, if a few mb of 32bit libs, residing in /usr/lib32 |
| 27 |
would be all that is needed. |

yeah, that too. So lets keep honest, ok? no-multilib+chroot means more work on |
| 32 |
maintenance, more work to set up. More compiling, more disk space wasted |
| 33 |
for... zero benefits. |

Hm, yeah, sounds really great. |
