12 \fBgrml-debootstrap\fP is a wrapper suite around debootstrap
13 (and cdebootstrap if you want) for installing a plain Debian
14 system via grml very fast and easy.
16 All you have to do is adjust a few variables in configuration
17 file /etc/debootstrap/config and invoke grml-debootstrap without
18 any further options then.
20 A plain and base Debian system will be installed on the given

23 grml-debootstrap supports the following options:
26 Show summary of options.
29 Show version of program.
32 .B /etc/debootstrap/config
33 Main configuration file. You have to adjust it according to your needs
34 before you are able to run grml-debootstrap.
37 You can control execution of grml-debootstrap via adjusting
38 /etc/debootstrap/config for some main stuff. The packages which should be
39 installed in the new Debian system can be defined via the file
40 /etc/debootstrap/packages. If you want to put existing files to the new
41 Debian system you can place them into the (by default non-existing)
42 directories boot, etc, share, usr and var in /etc/debootstrap/. Every
43 existing directory will be copied to the new Debian system then.
