Yes, for a full chroot environment, but I understood Alexander as saying he's
not keeping a full chroot, just the apps and the libs they need
under /emul/ia32-linux. I would like to avoid the need for chroot
alltogether as well as avoid wasting all that space to keep a largely
redundant environment just for a few apps that aren't yet available on
amd64. Am I understanding Alexander wrong?
