Thanks, didn't know about schroot. Sounds interesting.

Though the pain I referred to, was not associated to having to
"chroot", bu instead having to keep a x86-32, besides the already
x86-64 one.

As you mentioned, if just it was so minimal, that compiling everything
every once in a while (gcc upgrades and the like), with minimal
maitainance, then that's worth the effort, though as I indicated in a
prior e-mail, at least 105 spells, and everything required to keep
them (x86-32 gcc, glibc, gtk+*, etc), meaning a whole system, just
like the x86-64 tried to be kept, that's what makes me wonder.

I haven't yet decided what to do though.

For now the boxes I have with smgl are pure x86-64.

Thanks,
