Rather theoretically, I st^H^Hborrowed a *lot* of PLD specs
and patches into ALT Linux packages over the years and I like
your approach very much :)  (hence my lurking here, actually)

I can fall into swap in addition to simply running away :(
The PLD Rescue CD is also one of the most liked parts so far,
so maybe there's a chance of getting through.

Thank you for the hints, and if you get around to some kind
of more or less pristine chroot tarball it might help (I'm also
willing to discuss installers as that's what I'm hacking on at
times but that's pretty much another topic).
