You should start at [1]. The following presentations shed some light on
Scratchbox's purpose:
"Scratchbox: Cross-compiling a Linux distribution"
"An introduction to the Scratchbox cross-development tool"
"Cross-compiling Open Source"

Unfortunately not (that I am aware/remember of), but you can get started
by getting the darcs repository from [2] and running the "build" script.
The build expects to have an empty, writable /scratchbox directory. It
can currently be built only in Debian (sarge).
Alternatively, if you're interested in building stuff, you can try to
build the 1.2 branch which is still in development (I'm not sure if it
builds successfully at this time).
