I'm on amd64, as my primary arch. I generally use a chroot, as well, and have knocked up some scripts to help me, but a well-designed package to do it would be very helpful. Maybe I'll write one... Several patches just went into -mm to make UML work well as a 32-bit process on 64-bit arches, which would make the root image a pure 32-bit image. Daniel
