Thanks for explaining, I can remember that.

I didn't get to the right page at first and tried to install/compile but got
lost in a maze of dependencies--But I finally got to this page:
http://listaller.nlinux.org/oldpage/getlistaller.html and installed the
repository then used Synaptic to install it, simple.

OK, now to step 2...

I can't install it by just double clicking the package because it will try
to install it into the 64 bit server and I need to install it into the 32
bit chroot.

I couldn't figure out a command to install using Listaller into the chroot.
Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,
David
