Chroot into an iso from a running system?

Hey.

On a lark, I mounted a Gentoo iso file (not a CDROM) and tried to chroot into it from my running system. The problem is, I can't find anything to execute.

Has anyone done this, and how would you go about it?

its way more complicated that that :roll:

you don't chroot into the CD, you need to mount the squashfs file on the CD and then you can chroot into that.

Richard,

Thanks. I'll look into it.
