 # Alpine Chroot
 
-
-### Installation
-
 To create a base alpine chroot on any alpine system, run:
 
 ```sh
 chmod +x *.sh
 ./alpine_init.sh
 ```
-But this is assuming your current working directory is the directory of the
-cloned repository.
 
-When it is your first time in the chroot, run:
+Assuming your current working directory is the directory of the cloned repository.
-
-```sh
-./chroot_init.sh
-```
-
-
-### Usage
-
-Most people will go "into" the chroot via:
-
-```sh
-chroot /mnt/chroot sh
-```
-
-But you must remember that you can just as well run any program in the chroot
-as:
-
-```sh
-chroot /mnt/chroot <program>
-```
-
-Because **chroots are not jails, containers, or sandboxes**. They simply change
-what the system sees as the "root" point of the file system.
