do you mean that you installed the package or that you actually run the
service from the chroot? Both are feasible, of course. Given that disk
space is relatively cheap these days, definitely cheaper than time anyway,
I chose to have two more or less parallel and complete installation of
sarge, 64 and 32 bits. The machine boots and runs all services on the 64
bit side, and anything in the 32 bit chroot finds all the executables and
libraries seamlessly. OpenOffice detects and uses without problems the
cups printers, even if the daemon runs on the 64 bit side. Easy to setup
and maintain, after an initial effort in harmonising system uids and gids
and, more generally, the configuration of all services.
