I haven't used scratchbox, but I have written a script to build my own (home
grown) sandbox for the qmail-toaster project. The sandbox is rather bloated
(includes a lot of stuff that isn't really needed), but it has an option to
build it with hard links to save disk space. You can browse the script at
http://trac.shubes.net/qtp/browser/trunk/bin/qtp-build-sandbox or wget it
from http://svn.shubes.net/qtp/bin/qtp-build-sandbox.
