I'm not sure I managed to understand you question, but in-order to get a fully functioning chroot environment (coupled with X support) I usually issue the following commands: $ mount proc /mnt/XXX/proc -t proc $ mount sys /mnt/XXX/sys -t sysfs $ mount /dev /mnt/XXX/dev -o bind $ mount $HOME /mnt/XXX/$HOME -o bind $ mount /tmp /mnt/XXX/tmp -o bind - Gilboa P.S. Sending the same message to multiple ML's is usually considered -very- rude.
