I think that I need to build in a chroot environment in order to test-build a changed I've made to a package. I'd do this on my dev machine, but the problem occurs on ia64, only. This mail, <http://zork.net/pipermail/lnx-bbc-devel/2002-November/002102.html> talks about one method of making a chroot. Is there something more formal? Cheers.
