+mkchroot (create chroot-able directory tree)
+
+mkchroot creates a chroot-able directory tree using hard links where
+possible. The mkchroot package consists of 3 utilities: mkchroot,
+addchroot and findslack. mkchroot creates a minimal initial tree
+and addchroot incorporates Slackware packages into that tree.
+findslack is a utility used by the others to discover a Slackware
+install directory. (The package is usable without an install directory
+but has less functionality because it can't then run install scripts).
+(Before running the install script, addchroot uses the FILE LIST
+portion of the package file in /var/log/packages to install a
+package's directories and files).
