[Lxc-users] How to create a 32-bit container?

[Kim C. Callis]

Ok, back to the original question... It would seem that lxc-centos does not
make use of the --arch switch to specify the architecture of the build. So
would it stand to be true that there is no way currently to create a 32-bit
container on a 64-bit host? Or could I get creative, load a 32-bit version
of Ubuntu via KVM/qemu, then build create a 32-bit version of centos, and
then tar up and move the directory to my 64-bit host? Or am I just burning
up cycles and destined to watch it blow up when I transfer it to the 64 bit
host?
