Yes, it is. Various places on the web say you can mount the internal drive and then use `sudo apt-get -o RootDir=MOUNTPOINT` to do `update`, `dist-upgrade` and so on. However, I haven't tried this myself yet. It's also possible to do full-on chroot, with `sudo chroot MOUNTPOINT` and then run `apt-get` as normal. However, for this to work well you should also bind-mount some virtual filesystems such as `/proc` and `/sys` onto the relevant places in the internal drive. I can give instructions for this if the `-o RootDir` approach doesn't work.
