Only formatting / will only work if you don't have a separte /usr or /var... I run amd64 Etch and have an i386 chroot for iceweasel with flash. Prior to that I had i386 Sarge on a different box. The configs in /home worked just fine. I always migrate /etc by hand when I do a new install. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
