That sounds interesting. Is there a parameter to set the build
directory? I could format the ramdisk to tmpfs and mount it to
/var/local/deblive/build

Now i need something like 
lh config --build-dir /var/local/deblive/build

How is that done? 
Does that mean it works like this:

lh config...
lh build
[chroot-dir remains]
[now chroot to chroot-dir and change something]
[exit chroot]
lh build 
[if chroot is messed up or many new packages in the release, make a lh
clean and start again with fresh chroot-dir]

[x] CPU is one of the latest Intel Core duo. I will try to use a raid0,
but i think a ramdisk would be a lot better.

Thank you for your quick answers and for maintaining that nice project.
