From reading several references I believe my command should be:
debootstrap --arch=i386 --include=apt-get --variant=minbase --no-check-gpg
--print-debs --keep-debootstrap-dir stable /media/richard/rco
/media/cdrom0/????
I have two questions:
1. What should replace "????" as I'll be using DVD1 of Debian 9.1.0
as my "repository"?
2. As I expect the console display may exceed the scroll back limits,
I wish to pipe the console display for later reference without
impeding answering any prompts I get. I've seen a description for
doing that, but I can't remember it. Pointers?
How about
man debootstrap
?
I'll copy the synopsys for you(r lazy ...) here
debootstrap [OPTION...] SUITE TARGET [MIRROR [SCRIPT]]
after stable you provide the target (your usb stick)
Two problems with with your answer <grin>
1. the man page was one of my half-dozen references.
2. you answered neither of my questions.
