Re: adding a 386 chroot in /home
I installed the situation you described:
# /etc/fstab
# ia32 chroot
/home /home/chroot/sid-ia32/home none bind 0 0
/tmp /home/chroot/sid-ia32/tmp none bind 0 0
proc /home/chroot/sid-ia32/proc proc defaults 0 0
/sys /home/chroot/sid-ia32/sys none bind 0 0
# chroot /home/chroot/sid-ia32/
and it work for the most part without problems.
Only evolution would not run saying that the system configuration
was different than it expected.
