> Debootstrap
^debootstrap installs Debian base systems in a subdirectory of another, already installed system.
<debootstrap doesn't require an installation CD, just access to a Debian repository.
^It can also be installed and run from another operating system - for example, you can use debootstrap to install Debian onto an unused partition from a running Gentoo system.
<It can also be used to create a rootfs for a machine of a different architecture, which is known as "cross-debootstrapping".

Why aren't WE ALL distrohopping betweening linux operating systems via bootstrapping??? It's so freaking cool!!!!!! like how the alien pops out of the guy's chest in that alien movie
