About:
fakechroot provides a fake chroot environment to programs. A fake chroot allows you to run programs which require root privileges on an unprivileged user account. For example, you can create a Debian bootstrap or a development environment and build packages inside a chroot'ed system using a standard non-root user account. You can then use the apt-get command to install other packages without root privileges.
