mkchroot (create chroot-able directory tree) mkchroot creates a chroot-able directory tree using hard links where possible. The mkchroot package consists of 2 utilities: mkchroot and addchroot. mkchroot creates a minimal initial tree. addchroot then incorporates (installed) Slackware packages into that tree. HOW IT WORKS: addchroot uses the FILE LIST portion of the package file in /var/log/packages to install a package's directories and files. To complete the process, addchroot chroots the install script from /var/log/scripts. addchroot knows about some "special" packages for which it does not run the normal install script, e.g. bash and glibc. If you find a new "special" package, please tell the author.
