Any ideas?One idea is to run chroot (man chroot). Dont know if it will work though, never tried it :-)
Should run, provided you correct some network settings (/etc/resolv.conf, mount /proc perhaps).
The problem is, my "host" computer is x86 arch, and /mnt/system2 is mips arch, so chroot won't work in that case.
