My mistake. /tmp's bind -is- required to get X running. In essence, in my own experience I usually: A. bind tmp to the /chroot/tmp B. Copy the .Xauthority to chroot'ed home. C. Make sure DISPLAY is being set correctly.
2)at the risk of repeating my original question: I had heard that doing this chroot to another linux would run into some trouble if going from 64 bit to 32 bit, or vice versa.
Non what-so-ever. * * I never tried to run a very old, 2.4 based, 32bit Linux under chroot. - Gilboa -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
