Tried this out and yes, it works with Squeeze 32bit installer from
todays snapshot.

Thanks. Just some "stupid questions":

a) can I build a 32bit install image on a Debian amd64 system?

b) is there a bit of documentation for those things? Websites, books
or whatever. Wouldn't mind reading some stuff to get deeper into this.

Regards and thanks
