basically, you install a new system (by untaring the base tarball on a second
partition or a directory on a partition with some place in it.) then you do
chroot directory, and you are now in an environment that is as if you booted
into this new partition. You install apt-get, upgrade all the stuff you want,
and play with it.

Once you are finished you quite it with exit, i think.

read man chroot.
