You definitely should upgrade your easy-deb-chroot .deb. The scripts are much much better now. As for the big disk image, you can use your old one, but the IceWM setup in this version is pretty cool.

Major changes since first chroot package:

I've got the IceWM setup in there now!
Locales left in for international users
No hacks to remove docs
New un-hacked versions of OpenOffice and Iceweasel

The new script looks for the first image file that starts with "debian" so you could, in theory, keep both image files, and just rename the one you don't want to use to "xdebian.img.ext2" as required to use one or the other (rebooting between uses).

IceWM on top of OS2008 is cool:

IceWM running AbiWord and xvkbd, with OS2008 menu (invoked by pressing Home key)
