[mkroot] aboriginal / mkroot as a basis for a container?

[scsijon]

If you want to play with containers, (he may hate me for this) but 
BarryK has been playing with that and called his build Easy Linux, 
http://barryk.org/easy/how-easy-works.htm may be of assistance and it 
can be downloaded from 
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky6/amd64/releases/easy-0.2/. It's 
a couple of build types back though, he's gone on to other ideas since.
