I don't know the difference between chroot'ing and multilib (well, I know the difference but I don't the advantages/disadvantages of each). The reason I want to be able to chroot is that I want to be able run "make menuconfig" in each distro in order to view, side-by-side the configuration of the kernels. The x86 distro is my "production" distro but I want to configure and tune the x86_64 kernel to be as close to the x86 kernel as possible.

No, they won't effect each other, but isn't this generally how a multi-lib system is done?

Just make sure you have the proper options in the 64 bit kernel and use the proper chroot command. PaulNM -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Chroot question
I have an AMD64 chip and have separate Gentoo x86 and x86_64 distros. Gentoo has a "32Bit Chroot Guide for Gentoo/AMD64" but this guide only discusses setting up a separate 32bit environment within the 64bit Gentoo. I was wondering if it could be used, suitably modified, to chroot from my x86_64 bit distro to my x86 distro. Will it mess up one or the other?
