20110621 I want to have a 32-bit system running in chroot environment on my Slackware64. I've used such system on Debian using schroot…
20110906 I managed to do this as published here…
20120518 Minor change to the fstab entry for dev, which needs an rbind option so that the pty inside can be valid! Discussed here.
20120524 This is now part of my slackstuff collection (now known as my1shell)… in form of a script called slackroot.
20121031 The path to the chroot installation MUST ALL BE owned by root - or else, users will get a Write failed: Broken pipe error.
TODO A how-to on creating 32-bit chroot on 64-bit Slackware using slackroot script.
- on my pure slack64 (maintained using getslack/getslackpack) $ ARCH=i686 getslack - create root filesystem using 32-bit packages # slackroot /opt/chroot32 --arch x86 --desk -x - copy user/group info from 64-bit system to chroot32 = will maintain its own login info! # preproot --init /opt/chroot32 - mount bind 'system' paths # preproot /opt/chroot32 - ssh into system to use 32-bit chroot # ssh user@127.0.0.1 - unmount bind 'system' paths # preproot --done /opt/chroot32
