NAME
cdebootstrap - Bootstrap a Debian system
SYNOPSIS
cdebootstrap [OPTION]... [ORIGIN/]CODENAME TARGET [MIRROR]
DESCRIPTION
cdebootstrap builds a basic Debian system of CODENAME (e.g. jessie, stretch, sid) from ORIGIN (e.g Debian, Ubuntu) into TARGET using the source specified in MIRROR. It supports http://, ftp://, file:// and ssh:// URL and defaults to http://ftp.debian.org/debian. The ssh:// scheme uses cat on the remote host to access the files. You have to setup a master connection and configure ssh to use it or use a key for authentication. No user interaction is possible. The complete log is saved as /var/log/bootstrap.log in the new system. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. --allow-unauthenticated Ignore if packages can't be authenticated. This ignores the unavailability of Release.gpg, missing keyrings, broken signatures and missing gpgv executable. -a, --arch=ARCH Set the target architecture. -c, --configdir=CONFIGDIR Set the config directory. --debug Enable debug output. -d, --download-only Download packages, but don't perform installation. --exclude=A,B,C Drop packages from the installation list. This only works if the package is pulled in explicitely, either via priority or explicit definition in the config. It won't exclude packages which are pulled in via dependencies. --foreign Enable support for non-native arch (needs qemu-user-static). -f, --flavour=FLAVOUR Select the flavour to use (see FLAVOURS below). -k, --keyring=KEYRING Use given keyring. Relative filename are looked up in /usr/local/share/keyrings, /usr/share/keyrings and CONFIGDIR. -H, --helperdir=DIR Set the helper directory. --include=A,B,C Install extra packages. -q, --quiet Be quiet. Only warnings and errors are shown. --suite-config -v, --verbose Be verbose. All command output is shown. -h, --help Display this help and exit. --version Output version information and exit.
