There are several 3rd party debs (nero, cedega, barry) I want to
install. However from a security pov it doesn't seem wise to just

Thanks for all the replies. With regards to the chroot, I tried this a
few years ago when the chroot idea just came about. It was kinda messy

How can I setup this combination ?
