Until now that I have to use virtualbox and I am not able to unmask it since I am in a no-multilib profile. Has there been any change in a safe move from no-multilib to multilib? Is the wiki info above the only thing to rely on? Alternatively, what other options would I have? Thanks for inputs. -- Valmor

That's impossible, isn't it? Swithcing profile and reemerging everithing isn't gonna work? Even from a chroot? Should I reinstall a new stage from scratch?

Thank you in advance. --- TopperH http://topperh.ath.cx
