If you follow the guide word by word and do nothing more then: Yes, as far as I understand the guide. But it is "only" root in a chroot.. I know that is not better at all. > I have only one word to describe this: > > PHAIL. Exactly that is why I work something out to use my user account inside the chroot. I need the 32bit chroot because I have still some programms that I can't get to work with multilib on Gentoo. I tried already the multilib- overlay but that was a total failure for me. Oh and I do it because I really like to try new (new for me at last) stuff all the time, if it is complicated then it is only better.. ;-) Thats why I love Gentoo, you can break so much so easy :-D Greetings Sebastian
