I'm afraid I really don't remember. I know I've seen the rpm and I've
read some testimonials about how it worked or failed for a few people.
I can't remember who made it or where it could be found though

So did I. Someone made a rpm package that you could install with

only handled the base system and left the rest unchanged, but it

Well, I'm kind of thinking he meant an automated procedure.

I believe that pivot_root only works on mounted file systems, so unless your
chroot environment is at the root dir
Debian.rpm would be very cool. And very portable!

I think you can probably boot to it with a carefully crafted initrd
that performs a pivot_root into the debootstrapped chroot. Or,
perhaps you could run a UML kernel there? Has anyone tried that?

Don't bother with the chroot, just package up debootstrap with maybe
some wrapper code to call it easier ("/usr/bi

Just a short, silly note.
A friend of mine runs RedHat and told me "but I configure it with vi".
I told him - jokingly - that I prefered Debian and joe. He answered
"Hmm, Debian, what's that for a package? Maybe there's an .rpm of it".
