32 bit operating system emulator.

[davoudi]

Is there any 32 bit operating system emulator (like a bridge) that I could easily use those packages or software that can be installed on a 32 bit operating system easier? Something easier than emulating another Ubuntu using Virtualbox.

You can install 32-bit packages with

dpkg --force-architecture -i <package>

You will need ia32 libraries to run the installed program.

Out of curiosity, what are those 32-bit packages that you want to install?

I have problem with other software like ROOT (Cern), cisco vpn etc. These software apparently get installed on 32-bit operating system easier than 64. Thanks for help.
