I was acutally looking at getting the livecd scripts updated and working. I figured a VM from there is trivial (convert the ISO to a vmdk). Would it be more helpful for me to focus on a script to build an etoile-dev environment from a known state (fresh Ubuntu install) like the ubuntu-install-etoile script does? That's probably first step for a working live CD script anyway.
I understand why the uchroot but the problem is that the scripts that are being run are trying to access things outside of the chroot environment. For instance, the runUchroot function copies the livecd-build script to live/edit and then chroots to that directory. The first thing the livecd-build script does is try to access the ubuntu-install-etoille script which is not accessible from the chroot environment. I thought to fix this I'd just copy all of the things needed by livecd-build.sh somewhere within that live/edit directory so that after we've chrooted it is available to us. That sound like a good approach?

Its running the build script in the chroot environment but trying to access files outside in the script. I was thinking I'd write a script in the chroot area with the runtime vars (ETOILE_USER_NAME, etc) and then when the chroot is entered by the script just run that to export those variables.
