The debootstrap from devuan is safe to install. It differs only in having a few bugfixes. Besides, you can always grab the package from wheezy and overwrite. Anyway, sorry if there is too much 'tech talk'. Try looking at this forum thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/how-to-install-debian-using-debootstrap-4175465295/ A debootstrap system install has three stages, which you must complete to get a working system. It's not running debootstrap multiple times, but more like running debootstrap's flow(?) Perhaps it helps more :) -- ~ parazyd 6CB4 6C63 641D B1F1 F811 5B3A BB5E 2E35 B92E 373E
