If you’re wondering how to create a chroot environment in the first place while reading my previous post, then this post is for you.
Gentoo:
- Download gentoo stage 3 installer
wget http://mirror.gentoo.gr.jp/releases/x86/2006.1/stages/stage3-i686-2006.1.tar.bz2
mkdir chroot-gentoo
sudo tar xvjf stage3-i686-2006.1.tar.bz2 -C chroot-gentoo
sudo mount -o bind /dev chroot-gentoo/dev sudo mount -o bind /proc chroot-gentoo/proc
sudo mount -bind /usr/portage chroot-gentoo/usr/portage
sudo chroot chroot-gentoo /bin/bash
emerge --sync emerge vimExit when you're done exitDont forget to unmount what you have mounted sudo umount chroot-gentoo/dev chroot-gentoo/proc chroot-gentoo/usr/portageYou can have a debian chroot system too
- Install essential package
as root
echo "dev-util/debootstrap ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge debootstrapPopulate your chroot folder using debootstrap debootstrap sid chroot-debian http://mirror.pacific.net.au/debian/Mount proc and dev sudo mount -o bind /dev chroot-debian/dev sudo mount -o bind /proc chroot-debian/procStart chrooting now sudo chroot chroot-debian /bin/bashInstall your favorite packages apt-get update apt-get install <list your package here>Exit once done playing with the chroot environment exitClean up some mess sudo umount chroot-debian/dev chroot-debian/procJust do whatever you wish with your chroot environment, and you can just delete the chroot folder when you realized that you messed up too much already.
