TinyBSD does not heavily depend on chroot enviroment, it works directly in a "work" directory, where files copying, kernel build and hier(7) definitions are used in such an usual FreeBSD building enviroment, including mtree definitions in /etc/mtree/, using "make DESTDIR" and "make DISTRIBUTION" whenever it is possible. In fact it is pretty much closer to NanoBSD in the whole proccess, while only similar to minibsd in the "copy" idea. -- Patrick Tracanelli FreeBSD Brasil LTDA.
