pipeline: I think we should work together to turn my chroot scripts in Easy Debian into a generic ext2 image chroot appliance launcher. You definitely want the latest version of my package, since it has that cool turbo loop stuff in it, and I definitely want to move towards your isorun / ext2run system. I'm thinking of trying out qwerty12's recent zenity package as the GUI frontend.

AHA. I have the solution. I should break apart my Easy Debian package into an easy-chroot package and easy-debian package. The easy-chroot package has a very generic chroot script that is designed to be wrapped by other scripts, and the easy-debian package has the Debian chroot-specific stuff in it, including the Debian image downloader, LXDE window manager, and all of that stuff. Then you (and others) can depend on the easy-chroot package and wrap it in your own scripts... Sounds like a plan?

EDIT: So I figure it would work to issue a command like "sudo ezchroot filename.ext2 (or /dev/partition) /mountpoint command param param param" to run as root (replacing the "debian" command), or "ezchroot-user ..." to run as user (replacing the "debbie" command). Then the debian and debbie commands could simply wrap these commands and add some debian-specific tweaks. That would allow me to make new packages like Easy Ubuntu and you could use easy-chroot as a dependency to do the heavy lifting for ext2 chroot running.
