I do not use debootstrap for educational purposes but to bypass installer misbehaviour.For instance, I remember using it when the installer obstinately wanted to force me to use LVM (Logical Volume Management). This happened both under Debian and Devuan. On other occasions, the installer came to a mysterious halt because it wanted to use a network connection even though I had a CD in the CD drive from which the installation was running! Installers remind me of myself losing hours upon hours attempting to make them see reason and install to a partition or use an already existing partition without formatting it. Well, I cannot allow it to format my home partition.
In short, I found debootstrap very useful. Unless installers are made to do what the operator wants them to do, they become time-wasters. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
