QUESTION:
Has anyone personally used debootstrap to install to a flash drive?
I do install in a directory and then copy the content to the flash drive
then chroot and make it bootable
I was installing to the flash drive because I have less than 1GB
available on my hard drive.
alternatively you ma install into directory where flash drive is mounted
I thought I was doing that. My TARGET is "/media/richard/rco" where
"rco" is the label of a partition on the flash drive.
and
then chroot and make it bootable
I'm not that far yet.
My immediate goal is for debootstrap to write what would "resemble" a
system to the flash drive.
The error message when attempting "debootstrap --second-stage" is
"cat: /usr/share/debootstrap/suite: No such file or directory".
forget not that you need to mount the system related /proc/ etc.
this is what I am using
mount --make-unbindable -obind /proc/ $SYSTEM/proc/ && \
mount --make-unbindable -obind /dev/ $SYSTEM/dev/ && \
mount --make-unbindable -obind /dev/pts $SYSTEM/dev/pts && \
mount --make-unbindable -obind /run $SYSTEM/run && \
mount --make-unbindable -obind /sys $SYSTEM/sys/ && \
chroot $SYSTEM su -
For the umount
umount $SYSTEM/proc/ && \
umount $SYSTEM/dev/pts && \
umount $SYSTEM/dev/ && \
umount $SYSTEM/run/ && \
umount $SYSTEM/sys/
