JM, I couldn't get the (I used 1.0.7) Armel image to mount using either qchroot or using the Debian chroot. I think it was a file system thing. I didn't put that much work into it, because honestly, building my own rootfs just became easier. I don't recall the errors I had, and you're more than welcome to try it out. Creating your own also offers the benefit of being able to add in only the packages you want and selecting what you want your default GUI to be.
