It allows you to have 32 bit binaries and libraries in your 64 bit system so you can execute programs that dont have well working 64-bit binaries, like say OOo.

Thanks, added!
Because when you're in your chroot env, they will symlink to themselves.
I installed mplayer via synaptic32 (read using the dochroot bit). I tested in dchroot -d before making the symlinks. if you run mplayer via comandline in dchroot -d what kind of errors do you get?
comment out the line in /etc/fstab for /chroot/media/cdrom0 then.
I use mplayer in the chroot, but vlc works just fine in 64 bit mode. I've only run divx stuff through it (as I just got the sound working). I installed it via synaptic.
This worked for me as well, thanks!
Thanks, updated!
Yes, though you can just try "sudo iptables -L" to see if it's already inserted. (That's the only reason why I issued that command after the modprobe).
I can't think of a reason why the chroot wouldn't see iptables if the kernel supported them. Have you inserted the module?

Was thinking of making a Wiki entry, and also it looks like figuring out some sort fo bridge to the menus on the 32 bit side would be good.
What I've been doing for that is making my own launchers manually. I've yet to come up with anything automatic for that... For example, I had 64-bit OOo installed, but it had lots of problems, so I...
No that was correct, I updated the original.
Thanks, I updated and fixed the /var bit. Sound isn't working for me, perhaps I need to set everything to alsa. You can fix themes if you're so inclined by installing the ubuntu artwork and ubuntu...

To get Firefox setup with Flash I did the following:
Ran sudo synaptic32 (as noted in the above thread
Installed mozilla-firefox
dchroot -d
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0...
HOWTO: 32-Bit Chroot on 64-Bit Installs
Most of this comes from http://digital-conquest.ath.cx/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu#Building_a_clean_32bit_chroot_with_debbootstrap but I wanted to put together a cleaned up version that worked for me here ...
