I was just trying to see if it worked the way I thought it did, but
apparently it doesn't. The only thing I can think of, that I might
want to do, is use it to run the Adobe Flash installer, so it can't
mutilate any of my files. Or is there something better suited for
running an untrusted program?
Anyway, now I now what chroot is used for.

That is probably because there is not "bin" directory in your
Desktop ☺
The "change root" command is used to change where the root-directory
("/") is. The only time I can ever recall using it, from the command
line, was to switch the root-directory from a rescue disc to the main
hard-disk of the system I was working on, so "passwd" would change the
correct files.
What are you trying to do? I suspect you are using the wrong tool for
the job.
