Requirements for libs yes, but won't make the package system happy. Using the equivs package means you can install the proper i386 nvidia-glx package in the chroot, without having to build an i386 kernel package as well, since the equivs package will provide the dependancy it needs. ie: /tmp/nvidia-kernel-equivs.control: Section: misc Priority: optional Standards-Version: 3.5.10 Package: nvidia-kernel-equivs Version: 1.0.7174 Maintainer: Len Sorensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Provides: nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174 Architecture: all Description: Fake package for nvidia-kernel-modules Fake package to satisfy nvidia-glx dependancies for chroot use. debdev1:~# equivs-build /tmp/nvidia-kernel-equivs.controlA <stuff happens> Out comes: nvidia-kernel-equivs_1.0.7174_all.deb Install with dpkg -i and you satisfy the requirements of the chroot to then install nvidia-glx. Change names and version numbers to match your needs. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
