Hello, I've been using the no-multilib profiloe for sometime now and it's been excellent. Until now that I have to use virtualbox and I am not able to unmask it since I am in a no-multilib profile. Has there been any change in a "safe" move from no-multilib to multilib? Is the wiki info above the only thing to rely on? Alternatively, what other options would I have? Thanks for inputs. -- Valmor
