Is this right? Correct. Specifically, a chroot is a subdirectory on your system that mirrors the directory structure of the root, and you use the chroot() system call to change the root directory for your process. Most auto-built packages in Debian are built using chroot'ed build environments. When I was building, I didn't use a chroot -- but I did use a system where tetex-bin was not already installed. That usually makes the difference. Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
