Or do as I do.
I have Scratchbox on an external harddisk that I can use on several computers. My Scratchbox lives in a filesystem image on the harddisk, and I simply mount it to /scratchbox when using it. The group sbox must exist on the computer, though.

Create and format the filesystem image (as user):

Code:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/hdd/Scratchbox.fs bs=1024 count=3000000
mkfs.ext3 /media/hdd/Scratchbox.fs

Mount to /scratchbox (as root):

Code:

mkdir /scratchbox
mount -o loop -t ext3 /media/hdd/Scratchbox.fs /scratchbox

Install Scratchbox as in the instructions.

Unmount the filesystem image and the hdd and put Scratchbox in your pocket to use it on another PC.
