Why root?
Of course you can always achieve this with root, but that's kind of
missing the point of package users technique, (and also violating
principle of least privelege).
I concede that the motivation for why you would use the package users
technique in the first place is much less applicable to the
installations in /tools than to the final installations in /usr.
However from reading the experiences of people who have used this
technique, they all say that you should start with it from the
beginninig because you make life really difficult for yourself if you
try to switch half-way. I therefore assume that if Angel has got this
far with package users, he has been using them also in Ch 5. I'm also
assuming that the numeric user IDs of the package users in the chroot
match those on the host, otherwise it will be a real mess.
You're not *supposed* to be using package users in chapter 5. It's only
in chapter 6. The only package installed using package users so far
should be glibc.
Hmmm. A lot of assumptions. I concur with your earlier statement about
the level of experience need to use the package users technique compared
with the type of questions asked.
