  I transferred over the CentOS system.  It fails on my system with
"Exec format error"

[i660][root][~] chroot /home/misc/centos65/ /bin/bash
chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error

[i660][root][~] linux32 chroot /home/misc/centos65/ /bin/bash
chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error

  The error is usually due to stuff like trying to run 32-bit code in a
64-bit environment.
