Hi Nio, So the only thing it doesn't do is mount the newly installed OS as a chroot (along with the nessicary dev, sys, and proc directories) and update-grub. I ask this, because the chroot I made to work on the installed OS doesn't populate the /boot/grub folder. When I tried to install the tarball, it wouldn't boot. However I 'rebooted' the ISO and fixed grub, and can now boot into the new install. I think it would be useful to be able to update-grub on the installed system through OBI, for an instance like this. Mainly because I don't need 2 computers to build an OS, and can reuse the same debs for building both. (I cache them when I build the OS) And I can easily test the OS, and tweak it. Then I can rebuild a pristine version with the fixes.
