Sarah,

I thought the reason for the "chroot" was to avoid updating my dapper box to Edgy.  I don't want to upgrade my dapper box, I was trying to keep it the way it is, and still try to help my distribution of choice in a small way.  

I'll just keep things the way they are.

Thanks for the help,

Phil
