Since building the chroot executes binary files within the chroot (things like mount, etc), building a PPC chroot on an i386 machine won't work. Simple short term solution is: build the chroot on the target arch (i.e. build a PPC chroot on a PPC machine), then you can just copy over the PPC chroot to the differently arch'ed server. Complicated long term solution: use something like qemu to build the chroot. No, no one's done any work on this. :) Scott -- Scott L.
