Title : Installing Debian GNU/Linux Using debootstrap 
Date : 2006-08-21 
Code : <font face="arial" size="2" color="#000000">"Most Debian GNU/Linux neophytes find that distribution's default installer a bit difficult and ugly. While developers are working on a new installer for Debian Etch, there is a fully baked command-line alternative today: <a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/debootstrap">debootstrap</a>. Debootstrap <a href="http://enterprise.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/08/17/1947210&from=rss"> creates a basic Debian installation</a>, and can also be used for creating custom, minimal installations on embedded systems or for replacing a pre-installed Linux distribution with Debian on a co-located server."
