Normally I run Opera (which is 32-bit) in the 64-bit environment. For some videos actually you might have some luck with konqueror and/or mozilla-firefox-bin, without need for the 32-bit environment, but to me it's not a lot of trouble running things in the 32-bit environment if I have to, given how easy it to keep Gentoo up to date. The hard work is configuring the chroot as I like it and making it come up and go down automatically, which was a little bit of a programming task. There is one use for which I have found a chroot quite useful, which is building non-portage programs 32-bit. Then I can run them just fine in 64-bit, by making links in /usr/local/lib32 to any libraries needed that aren't already in the emul packages. (Plus I have to run ldconfig.) -- Barry.SCHWARTZ@chemoelectric.org http://www.chemoelectric.org Esperantistoj rajtas skribi al Bojo ĉe chemoelectric.org.
