So I guess that's the fundamental difference between linux-base installed to /compat/linux, and linux-dist?
So when I build my Linux installation, then I suppose I can mount that partition and chroot into it?
Even as nonroot? Even run X Window applications?
I think on some platforms, chroot is root-only, but running
ls -l /usr/sbin/chroot in FreeBSD 9.0-RC2
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7736 Nov 22 11:08 /usr/sbin/chroot
