Yes I think it might: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-live-devel/2007-November/002659.html /usr/bin/lh_binary_chroot: |if [ "${LH_CHROOT_BUILD}" = "disabled" ] |then | exit 0 |fi | |[...] | |${LH_ROOT_COMMAND} cp -a chroot chroot.tmp |${LH_ROOT_COMMAND} mv chroot.tmp chroot/chroot Additionally it means the tools don't have to be installed and later removed, which saves some (also slow) apt runs. Daniel, what do you mean by "tainted"? Just that the installed packages work the same as the ones that would be installed in the chroot? This doesn't seem like a big restriction or something that would inhibit or restrict utility by "normal people".
