Schroot is an evolution of the Unix "chroot" command, with enhancements that make it well suited for software development, especially for testing build and install scripts such as Slackbuild scripts where virtualization is not necessary. Schroot supports many types of chrooted environments, from simple directories to filesystem images, and can automate steps such as remounting /proc, /dev, and /tmp, setting up the chroots password and group files, etc. To get started, see schroot.conf(5) and schroot-setup(5). This package will link against Linux-PAM if it is present.
