I've just got my test amd64 installation running with a i386 chroot. I'm now trying out Xavier Grave's builds of the GNAT compiler, with more robust Annex E support. As has been discussed here, Glade 2006 is a long way from working properly. If all is well, I should have mixed 32-bit and 64-bit partitions running together in "production" software under Etch in the next few weeks. Thanks! -- Adrian
