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. |
