The only risk I can think of is trying to load kernel modules built against |
| 11 |
the kernel source in the chroot into the kernel that was loaded off of the |
| 12 |
livecd. That's not really a risk anyway; it should just fail cleanly. |

No well-behaving program should try and escape your chroot, so I'm gonna |
| 15 |
say it's generally safe. |

There /could/ be issues if you booted from a livecd that has a different |
| 18 |
CHOST than you are building the system for, but if you are doing something |
| 19 |
that crazy, I'd hope you'd tell us in your initial email. |
