Laslo,

We have two documents which cover this:
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/install_using_chroot_and_rsync and
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/install_using_chroot. Keep in mind that
neither of these methods are "officially" supported, but people have
installed using them.

Let us know if you have any more questions.
