start with a different collection?

[Art Alexion]

OK.  Or could I 

1. mount / on the Live CD's file system.
2. chroot to it
3. run it from there?

The problem I see with this is that the mount point of the music collection is 
going to be different.

eg. now the music /dev/hde1 is mounted at /mnt/music
If I mount / to /hd on the Live CD filesystem, chroot to /hd/ and 
mount -a, /dev/hde1 would be mounted at /hd/mnt/music, right?  Would amarok 
be able to find it there?
