grml-debootstrap

Install a pure Debian system from a Grml Live or another Debian-style system.

Purpose

This tool eases a "debootstrap"-style installation process of pure Debian, as favored by many advanced users over the traditional Debian Installer. Configuration can be done on the command line, in a dialog frontend or in /etc/debootstrap/config. You will get a pure Debian system installed on the specified device or directory, or directly into an image file suitable for Virtual Machine use.
