funfunfun :) if you absolutely have to, create a dchroot environment. use debian/lenny or something (debootstrap). i've done that before for 32-bit installs on a 64-bit system and it's worked very well. mmm.... http://wiki.cedar-solutions.com/DebianDChroot that looks like extremely good instructions, to me. i went as far as to mount-bind /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group (!) and stopped at the one where it says "set the root password", obviously. then all i needed to do was "dchroot bash" and could do everything i needed from there. you really SHOULD however change the prompt! otherwise you have the same hostname, same prompt, same access to filesystem, but... err.... it's 32-bit ... err... :) remember to install the xorg libraries (you don't need the server), if you do the /home mount-bind trick then you get access to the xauth stuff so i believe you may just need to do export DISPLAY=:0.0 and any x-apps (including pyjd) will work. l.
