It's much easier with the chroot, but it's possible without chrooting. Just a brief overview on how chroot (the program not the C function) works: 1. make some directory e.g. /mnt/debian the new root (/) for the current process 2. cd into / (/mnt/debian to the rest of the computer) 3. run another program e.g. /bin/bash (/mnt/debian/bin/bash to the rest of the computer) What that effectively does is put you 'in' your debian system even though the computer is running knoppix. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GAT/CM$/CS>$/CC/IT$/M/S/O/U dpu s+:++ !a C++$>C+++$ UB+++>++++$L++++$*-- P+>++$ L+++(++++)$ E-(---) W+++>$ N(+) o?
