No no, not each in separate one. But let's assume I want to switch from mythtv 0.24 to 0.25. Now I'd like to test it before I replace the working version. I think this should be possible with chroot too but I don't know if I can adapt the init script. Or if I get a mess with library versions I can have separate ones. I can't remember exactly but I needed a newer python version which was depended on a new gcc. Maybe I can put the new libraries into the chroot envirmonment and still have the stable ones on the normal system. I have never used chroot before. So I have no clue what it's really used for. I read that you can change the root directory for a program. Does it also work for daemons? Maybe I have to install a second Debian as described for Gentoo by Raymond described in the link. But is there a "stage 3" tarball for Debian too? Best regards Ramon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
