Hello,

I just installed Debian AMD64 and would like to install the 32 bit Kaffeine, Firefox,Macromedia Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Open Office.org and other 32 bit programs. However unlike other distributions you cannot simply install a 32 bit package. After some googling I heard of something called chroot and some other things. What is the best way to accomplish this and how do I do it? A howto would be nice.

Thanks in advanced,
Paul

A FAQ/Howto would be very nice. So nice that I bet very highly that the debian team would have one - what do you know, they do!

That is hyperlinked to the installation of the 32 bit chroot. You should bookmark that entire page until the whole world makes it to 64 bit land.

Peace,
