Re: i386 Wine on an amd64 without chroot

[Max <relf@unn.ac.ru>]

Tobias,

You can install all applications and libraries in chroot enviroment and later use them from outside like ia32-libs.
In short:

1. debootstrap --arch i386 sid /emul/ia32-linux/ ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian
2. chroot /emul/ia32-linux/
3. install whatever 32-bit applications/libraries using apt-get
4. leave chroot enviroment
5. (optionally) make symlinks to desired 32-bit applications located in /emul/ia32-linux/usr/bin/
6. enjoy the installed 32-bit apps
