You can chroot within this installation for remastering purpose, but is isn't chroot'd by default. Tell me, if I'm wrong.

It sounds like you may know more than I. The impression I've gathered is that "HD install" is not recommended for the faint of heart, as it produces unpredictable results due to strange differences in user/owner of resources, etc., primarily related to the ability to remaster. Flash install, on the other hand, produces a fairly solid system for daily use, in my experience.

Cheers!
