Good point. I don't know the difference between chroot'ing and multilib |
| 20 |
(well, I know the difference but I don't the advantages/disadvantages of |
| 21 |
each). |

The reason I want to be able to chroot is that I want to be able run |
| 24 |
"make menuconfig" in each distro in order to view, side-by-side the |
| 25 |
configuration of the kernels. The x86 distro is my "production" distro |
| 26 |
but I want to configure and tune the x86_64 kernel to be as close to the |
| 27 |
x86 kernel as possible. |
