I was going to mention schroot myself as an addendum to a chroot reference when this thread first started. They *are* slightly different. There was a quick thread on Debian-User a while back where something that possibly worked in chroot was not working in schroot. As a user who had never tried schroot, I was able to easily help duplicate that bug, too. Schroot's description sounds... *VERY interesting* if one has never done any of this. Sounds like all kinds of being able to change things up. That's a talent/ability you'd want if you're developing something intended for all kinds of users instead of "just" something about installing something (e.g. my debootstraps) before then moving on down the computing road.. :) DISCLAIMER: If chroot also offers some of that change up ability, my observation just means I've never encountered any usage needs where chroot's hardier features became apparent. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs often in linux-lurk-mode *
