Yes, that's an option to, although with more than ~768K of ram it's not ideal. > The > reason for a 32-bit kernel is because I need to compile the Nortel VPN > client and it is binary only crap and has 32-bit only binary modules. Well, that'll force a 32-bit kernel; do none of the open-source solutions for VPN-ing work? Have you tried them? I was able to get VPN-ing to a Cisco router working even when I was told it just wouldn't work. > Out of curiosity, how would I do a 32-bit userland with 64-bit kernel? > Would I just change CHOST to x86_64 when I compile the kernel? emerge crossdev crossdev -s2 -t x86_64 make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu- -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
