RE: Compiling 32-bit Debian Kernel on a 64-bit Debian OS on a 64-bit machine
Thank you for the detailed response.
I think I have done debootstrap before but I never reached to the X windows part. From what you just mentioned, it looks like that I will need some time to do some trial and error and some research before I can get X windows in ch-root.
I will give it a shot sometime soon.
