   This will be good for dsitributions look at using Pkgsrc as the 
native packaging
   mechanism. It will ease install to harddisk. I am testing out Pkgsrc 
for the BeleniX
   distribution and was thinking of doing a chroot for harddisk install. 
But this will
   require copying a minimal chroot environment to harddisk prior to 
running Pkgsrc
   to install the system packages.
