Those commands work, but for consistency with the supermin(1) manual
page, it would be better to call the supermin directory "supermin.d",
not "appliance.d".  It is just cosmetic however.

I encourage you to really run the commands above.  And if you also
change '-f chroot' to '-f ext2' and have a look at the output you
might be surprised too.
