Hello Drew

There are quite a few pages about the build process, as well as more
information in the qubes-builder/doc directory. Also, there are a number
of config files in example-configs. Finally, if you run ./setup in the
builder directory you can choose the flavour you want - also , this
will generate quite detailed builder.conf which should make the options a
little clearer.

Finally, you are quite right. The build process creates chroots for the
distribution you are building. So if you select Jessie, then a
chroot-jessie will be setup and the actual build will take place in that
chroot.

cheers
