Bye and thanks for your kind > assistance! I used your FIXME and TODO comments to put the instructions from the man page into a finished script: https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/mmdebstrap/src/branch/main/examples/mmdebstrap-autopkgtest-qemu Mainly there are now no temporary files anymore and everything works in a single shell pipeline. I'm afraid that this will not work on architectures other than amd64 and i386 for the reasons given in the comments at the top of the script. I've put this into the examples directory for now. I'm not sure whether I want to make this into a script that can be put into PATH and which would then also need options to set the image size and distribution. Thanks! cheers, josch
