Debootstrap is used to create a Debian base system from scratch,
|
|
without requiring the availability of dpkg or apt. It does this by
|
|
downloading .deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking
|
|
them into a directory which can eventually be chrooted into.
|
|
|
|
It's especially useful if you need to work on debian-like systems
|
|
without having to install them over our beloved Slackware ;-)
|
|
|
|
As we do not have dpkg, remember to always pass an architecture to
|
|
debootstrap using the --arch switch.
