=head1 NAME
 
  create-chroot
 
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 
  create-chroot [-g VG] [-f] [-L size] distname
 
	-g  		name of Volume group if several on this system
	-f		force removal of existing volume group
	-L 		size of the logical volume. defaults to 3GB.
 
	distname	name of the distribution you want to bootstrap
 
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 
B<create-chroot> is a small shell script for creating LVM based chroot
ready for use with schroot. If the distribution already exists, the
existing logical volume will be removed. It checks if a volumegroup
named like the dist you want to install is already on the system. If
there isn't, then it will create a logical volume, make a filesystem and
bootstrap the selected system on it. It then copies the files
C</etc/hosts> and C</etc/sudoers> into it.
 
After setting it up, make sure you have the chroot added correctly to
C</etc/schroot/schroot.conf>.
