chroot-distro's Issues

I have newbie doubts

to be able to use the chroot-distro commands. I have to do it from your. and when I do it. It won't let me download the distribution.

Sudo not working in chroot on P7P

When attempting to use sudo inside chrooted system (notably archlinux), sudo command is broken, complaining about

effective uid is not 0, is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the 'nosuid' option set or an NFS file system without root privileges?

I guess this has to do something with the way Android mounts /data? The device is Pixel 7 Pro.

Error installing distribution

When installing the distribution I received these errors:

.../files/home # chroot-distro install kali
grep: warning: stray \ before /

I mounted the system partition with write permissions, but this did not change nothing.

No distro.tar.xz

How to fix this? How to download this file? Or is there any steps i missed?
