Above are the opinion of the author of multistrap, so be cautious even filing wishlist bugreports for improving faked root support. That said, I agree with you that bootstrapping as regular user has its benefits - I haven't given up yet on the concept. If interested, then my newest attempt using only code in Debian + a few config scripts is in git://anonscm.debian.org/git/showme/box in the "multistrap" subdir: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/showme/box.git/tree/multistrap Looking now I realize it lacks documentation and is not yet demo'ed in the outer project (which is this: https://wiki.debian.org/ShowMeBox ) - you are welcome to ask more about it, I need to improve on it anyway the upcoming weeks, so interest from others is encouragement :-) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
