[SOLVED] larch Architecture - i686 on x86_64
Does anyone know if there is a way to build an i686 larch system on an x86_64 host?

Yep...just make sure the 'Architecture = i686' in the 'Edit pacman.conf' option. Then find a suitable place to store your chroot (I used /opt/arch32) and it should work just fine. Mine's been made for so long now I don't remember if I had to do anything else, but just keep an eye on the output when larch is downloading and building the system and you should be able to see if you need to change anything else.

cheers chap!
My eyes (grep) totally missed that as it was set to 'auto' rather than an arch!

Np 
Just edit your first post and mark the title [SOLVED]. Larch is a great program -- been using it to keep my flash drive useful for over a year now. I keep the chroot up-to-date on my laptop with:
sudo schroot -c Arch32 -- pacman -Syu --noconfirm && sudo schroot -c Arch32 -- aurget -Syu --asroot --noconfirm && sudo schroot -c Arch32 -- pacman -SccAnd then periodically regenerate the image for my USB drive. One tidbit it took me awhile to figure out was that you can add things in your home directory in /etc/skel. Very useful for things like .vimrc and .xinitrc!
