Customization of this process is -possible as well. -.SH OPTIONS -grml-debootstrap supports the following options: -.TP -.B \-h, \-\-help -Show summary of options and exit. -.TP -.B \-v, \-\-version -Show version of program and exit. -.TP -.B \-\-grub -Where do you want to install grub to? Use grub syntax for specifying. -Do not forget to set groot as well. Leave empty to avoid installation of grub. -.TP -.B \-\-groot -Specify root device for usage in grub (corresponds with $TARGET). -Again, use grub syntax for specifying. -Corresponding with configuration variable GROOT. -.TP -.B \-m, \-\-mirror -Specify mirror which should be used for apt-get/aptitude. Notice that -specifying the mirror also sets the chrootmirror to the given value. -Corresponding with configuration variables MIRROR and CHROOTMIRROR. -.TP -.B \-p, \-\-mntpoint -Specify mountpoint that should be used for mounting the target system. -Corresponding with configuration variable MNTPOINT. -.TP -.B \-r, \-\-release -Specify release of new Debian system. Supported relases: sarge, etch, lenny and sid. -Corresponding with configuration variable RELEASE. -.TP -.B \-t, \-\-target -Target partition (/dev/...) or directory (anything else without /dev at the -beginning). -.SH USAGE EXAMPLES -.TP -.B grml-debootstrap --target /dev/hda1 --grub hd0 --groot hd0,0 -Install default Debian release (stable/etch) on /dev/hda1 and install bootmanager -Grub in MBR (master boot record) of /dev/hda and use /dev/hda1 as system partition. -.TP -.B grml-debootstrap --target /dev/hda6 --grub hd0 --groot hd0,5 --release sid -Install Debian unstable/sid on /dev/hda6, install bootmanager -Grub in MBR (master boot record) of /dev/hda and use /dev/hda6 as system partition. -.TP -.B grml-debootstrap --target /data/chroot -Install default Debian release (stable/etch) in directory /data/chroot (without -any bootloader). -.TP -.B grml-debootstrap --target /dev/sda3 --grub hd0 --groot hd0,2 --mirror ftp://ftp.tugraz.at/mirror/debian -Install default Debian release (stable/etch) on /dev/sda3 and install bootmanager -Grub in MBR (master boot record) of /dev/sda and use /dev/sda3 as system partition. -Use specifed mirror instead of the default (ftp://ftp.debian.de/debian) one. -.SH FILES -.TP -.B /etc/debootstrap/config -Main configuration file. You have to adjust it according to your needs -before you are able to run grml-debootstrap. -.TP -.B /etc/debootstrap/chroot-script -The script executed within the new Debian system as soon as the main system -has been installed via [c]debootstrap. -.TP -.B /etc/debootstrap/locale.gen -Defines the default locales used for generating locales via locale-gen. -.TP -.B /etc/debootstrap/packages -Defines the software packages which should be installed in the new -Debian system by default. -.TP -.B /etc/debootstrap/stages/ -The default directory for storing information about executed stages. Every -single function of grml-debootstrap will write 'done' to the stages directory -into a file named as the function itself if it has been executed sucessfully. -You can adjust the location of the directory via configuration variable STAGES -via /etc/debootstrap/config. Please notice that you have to remove the stages -directory on your own if you want to re-execute grml-deboostrap after running it -successfully once. This should avoid recurrent execution by error of -grml-debootstrap (which might delete present data). -.SH CUSTOMIZATION - -You can control execution of grml-debootstrap via adjusting -/etc/debootstrap/config for some main stuff or via setting some selected -variables via commandline. The packages which should be installed in the new -Debian system can be defined via the file /etc/debootstrap/packages. If you -want to put existing files to the new Debian system you can place them into the -(by default non-existing) directories boot, etc, share, usr and var in -/etc/debootstrap/. Every existing directory will be copied to the new Debian -system then. - -.SH SUPPORTED RELEASES -.TP -Current status: - - +----------------+-------------+-----------------+ - | Release / Tool | debootstrap | cdebootstrap | - +----------------+-------------+-----------------+ - | Sarge | works [1] | works [1] | - +----------------+-------------+-----------------+ - | Etch | works | works | - +----------------+-------------+-----------------+ - | Lenny | works | works | - +----------------+-------------+-----------------+ - | Sid | works | works | - +----------------+-------------+-----------------+ - -[1] Please notice that Sarge is the current old-stable within Debian. -grml-debootstrap can handle the release but you really should not -use Sarge anymore unless you really know what you are doing. Choose -Etch instead. - -.SH BUGS -Probably.
