Install on 64-bit debian etch using chroot

The main benefit of doing this is that you can use the package for debian 32-bit. Witch means you dont have to install from source.

By using chroot you can install a 32-bit version debian on a 64 architexture.

apt-get install debootstrap

Now we install the system

debootstrap --arch i386 etch /var/chroot/etch-ia32 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/

Edit fstab to allow the new system access to the root system

nano /etc/fstab 
 

Paste in the following

/home   /var/chroot/etch-ia32/home none    bind      0       0
/tmp    /var/chroot/etch-ia32/tmp  none    bind      0       0
/dev    /var/chroot/etch-ia32/dev  none    bind      0       0
/proc   /var/chroot/etch-ia32/proc none    bind      0       0

now we mount these folders like this

mount /var/chroot/etch-ia32/home

mount /var/chroot/etch-ia32/proc

mount /var/chroot/etch-ia32/dev

mount /var/chroot/etch-ia32/tmp

Using chroot we will now access the system

chroot /var/chroot/etch-ia32

 Now you are in a 32 bit version of debian and can install dekiwiki as described here

Ps

There is a problem with permissions for configuration of the editor witch can be solved by running

chmod g+w /var/www/dekiwiki/editor/fckeditor/editor
