+*--hostname* <_hostname_>::
+
+ Use specified hostname instead of the default (being 'grml').
+
+*-i*, *--iso* <_/mntpoint_>::
+
+ Specify mountpoint where you have a Debian ISO mounted loopback.
+ Using this option instead of the mirror option gives you the possibility
+ to install the base-system without network access. Make sure you
+ mounted the according Debian-ISO to the given <_/mntpoint_>. See section
+ 'Usage examples' for a demonstration.
+
+*--keep_src_list*::
+
+ Do not overwrite user provided /etc/apt/sources.list.
+
+*-m*, *--mirror* <_URL_>::
+
+ Specify mirror which should be used for apt-get/aptitude.
+ Corresponding with configuration variable MIRROR.
+
+*--nodebootstrap*::
+
+ Skip debootstrap, only do configuration to the target.
+
+*--insecure*::
+
+ Do not download and check signatures for retrieved Release files.
+
+*-p*, *--mntpoint* <_/mntpoint_>::
+
+ Specify mountpoint that should be used for mounting the target system.
+ Corresponding with configuration variable MNTPOINT.
+ Note: this option has no effect if option -t is given and represents a
+ directory.
+
+*--packages*[=<_file_>]::
+
+ When using *--packages* without the optional '=<_file_>' parameter, it
+ enables installing the packages defined in the default package list
+ '<confdir>/packages' file. If the optional parameter is given, the
+ specified list file is used as list for packages that should be
+ installed instead.
+
+*--password* <_password_>::
+
+ Use specified password as password for user root. Use with caution, as your
+ commandline might be visible in the process list and the shell history.
+ It's meant for automatic installation only.
+
+*-r*, *--release* <_releasename_>::
+
+ Specify release of new Debian system. Supported releases names: lenny,
+ squeeze (note: requires current version of debootstrap) and sid.
+ Corresponding with configuration variable RELEASE.
+
+*--pre-scripts*[=<_directory_>]::
+
+ When using *--pre-scripts* without the optional '=<_directory_>'
+ parameter, it enables executing scripts from the default
+ '<confdir>/pre-scripts/' directory before executing the chroot script.
+ If the optional parameter is given, execute scripts from the specified
+ directory instead. This allows customization of the system before the
+ chroot has been set up. The environment variable $MNTPOINT is available
+ inside the scripts for direct access of the chroot.
+
+*--scripts*[=<_directory_>]::
+
+ When using *--scripts* without the optional '=<_directory_>' parameter,
+ it enables executing scripts from the default '<confdir>/scripts/'
+ directory after the chroot has been set up. If the optional parameter is
+ given, execute scripts from the specified directory instead. This allows
+ customisation of the system after the chroot has been set up. The
+ environment variable $MNTPOINT is available inside the scripts for
+ direct access of the chroot.
+
+*-t*, *--target* <_target_>::
+ Target partition (/dev/...) or directory (anything else without /dev at the
+ beginning). To install grub using *--grub* make sure to use a _device_
+ instead of a directory as _target_ (installation of grub as bootloader when
+ using directories is NOT supported).
+
+*-v*, *--verbose*::
+ Increase verbosity.
+
+*-V*, *--version*::
+ Show version of program and exit.
+
+TIP: The long options may be abbreviated, as long as the abbreviation is not
+ambiguous. Eg. '--k' will be the same as '--keep_src_list', and '--pac' be
+'--packages'.
