Re: Advice in switching from Mandriva 64 to Debian 64
I prefer to have the chroot
I have 2 kinds of users, the first one works on 64 bits (sid could be
sarge/etch), the second works over the chroot (sid but could be
sarge/etch)...
The trick is to run and configure both kdm (64 y 32 bits) to manage the
login for the right user under the right enviroment (i had changed the
wallpapaer to identify the enviroment login and disable the user login
in the other enviroment)...
Note: Just one X session could have DRI etc...
Good luck

Hi,
I am planning to switch to Debian from Mandriva. I have an AMD64 and I
would like to exploit the 64 bits for those programs that really need it
(video editing/transcoding, photo editing), and still run Firefox with
Flash, OpenOffice, and Wine (CodeWeavers and Cedega).
The issue is that the 32 bit applications need to be run by the rest of
the family, and I fear a chroot environment would be too complex for
them (they just want to click on an icon and it must work).
In the Howto, there appear to be two possibilities, a "quick start" and
a chroot environment. Are they really different, I mean with the "quick
start" do I just need to install the ia32-libs package to get my above
32 bit apps running?
Any advice is welcome!
