Hey Aidan,

What are you actually trying to do? chroot is a program that restricts the 
filesystem that is visible. It's usually used to start a shell in a different 
environment to your machine - for example, I use it to build a new voyage 
environment on a cf card, whilst still logged in to this workstation. It is 
also used ( erromeously!!! ) to improve security for certain server 
processes... like I said this doesn't really help!

I'm afraid I've never heard of fakechroot.
