I'm on amd64, as my primary arch. I generally use a chroot, as well, |
| 12 |
and have knocked up some scripts to help me, but a well-designed package |

to do it would be very helpful. Maybe I'll write one... |

Several patches just went into -mm to make UML work well as a 32-bit |
| 16 |
process on 64-bit arches, which would make the root image a pure 32-bit |
| 17 |
image. |
