Re: Debian chroot on Ubuntu?

I'm getting ready to install a 32 bit chroot on an Ubuntu AMD64

with a 32 bit Debian chroot?

Yes, Debian works fine. Follow the instructions in the
Debian AMD64 HOWTO.

I don't use 32 bit anything on AMD64. I can chroot to some
more 64 bit installations. This is what I do:

Either install debian from the Installer in a new partition
or use debootstrap to build a debian in a new partition.
Then mount the partitions as the HOWTO and then chroot to
that partition. The big puzzle is getting the mounts setup
and the bind mounts before trying to chroot.

Or boot the new debian and chroot to ubuntu.
