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.
