CONFIGURATION
dchroot reads the configuration file /etc/dchroot.conf to determine valid chroots on the system. Input lines in /etc/dchroot.conf consist of an identifier and a path separated by whitespace. If more than one input line is present the first is taken to be the default chroot. For example:
testing /chroots/testing
stable |
/chroots/stable |
The configuration above enables a default chroot called ’testing’ located at /chroots/testing and also a chroot called ’stable’ located at /chroots/stable.
