Yes, and make sure to copy any libraries it needs too. > Just out of curiosity, would a link to the real bash work? A hard link would work if /root/woody-chroot is on the same filesystem as /bin. A symbolic link wouldn't work; symbolic links are resolved at the point when the file is opened, and since the real /bin isn't visible from inside the chroot the symbolic link won't be resolved properly. I think I'd generally prefer just copying the file, though, because it saves me trying to think about what happens when the main system is upgraded.
