The process of doing the installation in chroot has meant so far
installing it first on a normal workstation, entering the serial number,
finding every single file the installer installed or modified and
placing them under the chroot in the same places.

We have been waiting for the linux version of the new 10.6.xx.xx version
to see if the process is any different now. I can try to document the
installation process once it arrives.
