Use the specified architecture instead of the currently running one. This

crosscompiling (like building a ppc system on x86) isn't possible due to the

Build the ISO without updating the chroot via FAI. This option is useful for
example when working on stable releases: if you have a working base
system/chroot and do not want to execute any further updates (via "-u" option)
