Other than non-free stuff like flash and openoffice,
is there anything in the main section of i386 that isn't in the main
section of AMD64?
openoffice.org IS free. The need for a chroot arises solely because it is
not (yet) completely 64-bit clean, which means that the 64 bit version is
not (yet) completely stable. Things are improving fast, though.
In other words, what are people having to use a chroot i386 for?
As you said, only for i386-only software, in my case mainly: openoffice (but
maybe I will give the 64-bit version a new spin shortly), flash, skype, some
commercial scientific software I need. Very few things indeed.
