Note the following: > Since you are basically building a 32-bit system in an environment similar to what you used to build your original system you would simply need to install the appropriate software into the 32-bit chroot environment. Once you have rpm and the Debian utilities installed you should be able to install packages from RPM or DEB although you will probably have to force the installations. I should mention that I myself am still quite new to using a 32-bit chroot environment on a 64-bit system so I may not have all of my facts correct but hopefully this is enough to get you on your way. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
