Sugar ought to be easy to run from chroots. For a variety of silly reasons, this isn't yet the case, but it might be soon. Ping [[User:Mstone|Michael]] with questions.
=== X11 ===
Most X11 servers are configured to disable TCP connections. This means that in order to get a working X connection we can:
a) bind-mount the X unix socket into the chroot.
b) ssh ''into'' the chroot with X11-forwarding enabled.
c) enable TCP on an X server, e.g. a nested Xephyr.
We're going to try option (3) first.
=== Chroot Construction ===
There are lots of ways to create appropriate chroots; e.g. by hand, with debootstrap, with mock, etc.
=== X11 ===
