Normally you would make your own using debootstrap or cdebootstrap. $ sudo apt-get install debootstrap $ sudo debootstrap squeeze my-chroot-dir-name I often use --download-only to make a base snapshot with everything downloaded already so that I can more quickly create pristine chroots. I often use --arch i386 so as to create 32-bit chroots on my 64-bit system. In the chroot I usually create a ./usr/sbin/policy-rc.d script containing only "exit 101" as a script so that upgrades in the chroot won't try to start services there. In the chroot I usually create ./etc/debian_chroot with a unique name so that when I have interactively chroot'd there I can use that in my shell's PS1 prompt and be able to tell the shells apart.
