I'm sure it's possible, but rather than going through all the work of trying to script and setup chroot environments, why not use VMs? You can then quite literally match the production setup. Since you are not worried about performance or memory you could give each VM 128 MB of RAM and only be using 1 GB or so total... --Dennis
