Wheezy and Multi-Arch...

Hi all,

when using amd64 it is also possible to use the new Multi-Arch 
architecture bei appending a :i386 to the packages to be installed.

But first one has to execute a

   dpkg --add-architecture i386

and do an 

   apt-get update

Has anyone an idea where the best place in FAI is to do this?

Would the class-directory the best place for something like this:

=====================
FOREIGN=`dpkg --print-foreign-architectures`
if [ xi386 != x$FOREIGN ]
then
   dpkg --add-architecture i386
   apt-get update
fi
=====================

Or are the better places / other recommendations?

Best regards

Dirk, just trying to get a 32-bit iceweasel running on amd64...
