Gentoo is very easy to install into a chroot -- just unpack the base 
image and run with the normal installation procedure. Debian, obviously, 
has debootstrap. SuSE has "yast dirinstall", which is a close equivalent.
If anyone else *isn't* capable of being easily installed into a chroot, 
then that distro is severely tardy with regard to its range of install 
options.
