So yesterday and today I spend some time on setting up a multilib chroot on my 64 bit laptop. Why I do not run multilib you ask me. Well I don’t know. It is something I don’t like. Extra compiling. Plus the way I see it things 64 bit should be able to work on its own. And well After 2 years with the laptop it has served me well!

So the multilib chroot. I’m setting it up so I can test some multilib packages. Since this laptop is now my primary test machine. it should be fine. Now I was playing around with inittab and by modifing it a bit I now have my terminals as follows:

tty1 – tty3: native amd64
tty4 – tty6: amd64 multilib

So that makes switching to it a lot more easy
It works perfectly. Maybe i’ll even set up a completely 32 bit chroot. That way I can easilty check if things compile in 32 bit, 64 bit and multilib all together.

You got to love linux for allowing you to do this
