Several months ago, when I was having problems with a very customized install, I was pointed to debootstrap as an appropriate tool. I finding that it will evidently give me not only the fine control and minimal footprint desired, but it leads me to explore areas of Debian that I know less about than I thought.

My question -- Does anyone know of a detailed (newbie oriented) writeup on using debootstrap to install a bootable Debian to a second partition of a drive already containing a complete default install? All the writeups I've found assume various levels of experience and leave out things that "everybody knows". Fortunately the leave out different things so I think I am getting a reasonably complete overview.

Comments? TIA
