I don't think Mick was implying that. Note that he specified "linux32", which is a symlink to "setarch". > You'll need to run in 32bit mode when chrooting of course: > > linux32 chroot /mnt/Atom_Build_env /bin/bash > source /etc/profile > export PS1="(Atom_Build) $PS1" "man linux32" pulls up the "setarch" manpage, which says... > setarch currently only affects the output of uname -m.

The default program is /bin/sh. "linux32" is an adjunct to running a 32-bit linux chroot on a 64-bit linux host OS. chrooting works usually OK without it, but "linux32" modifies "uname -m" output, which may help with programs that go to "the bare metal". -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
