I suspect I could build the base system plus X and copy everything over to a jailed dir. Once there, I could set -m32 in the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS of the system make.conf. Build WINE in the jail, add a /usr/local... bin32, lib32 and libexec32 to the main (non-jail) part of the OS, and copy everything there. Then update the path and libpath for my system... OK, not simple, but it'll be an interesting experiment. *Jeremy Clarkson* What could /possibly/ go wrong? Not really had the issues you mentioned in Windows in the last few years, but I still prefer FreeBSD - the KDE and Gnome user interfaces (desktop management) are just much more efficient for getting work done (for me anyway) than that of Windows, and I can have a lot more control over my system. -Jim Stapleton
