+The fakechroot project was started as dirty hack because I've got an access
+to some system without root privileges. I really wanted to install additional
+software and I imagined that no access to the root account should be no
+problem at all.
+
+For years, more and more people started to use the fakechroot.
+
+I would like to thank to:
+
+* Marcin Jakubowski, for an inspiration
+* Joost Witteveen, for his fakeroot
+* Lionel Tricon, for an exclude path list feature
+* Mark Eichin, for countless patches with bugfixes
