[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#533580: user-mode-linux: 32-bit UML on a 64-bit system; possible without chroot?

[Daniel Dickinson]

Package: user-mode-linux
Version: 2.6.26-1um-2+15lenny3
Severity: wishlist


Would it be possible to have a 32-bit version of UML for amd64?  I'd like to
run an i386 system under UML rather than resorting to qemu.
