Nice way, I'm trying it by NOW :-) I'll make another question which I' sure it has already been discussed but I didn't found it in the wiki. Groups. How to add my username to the netdev or other groups I may need to be included? I don't do it in the chroot because the user artistx is not present yet, in the configuration files there is no mention of groups and so?
