Description: A tool for building complete Linux filesystem images
Rootstrap was originally written to provide a facility for building
filesystems for use with User-mode Linux, but can be useful in other
applications as well.
.
It uses a modular set of shell scripts to create the filesystem
image, install a base system, and customize it for a particular
application. Currently, it only builds Debian systems, but the
architecture is such that other base systems could be used instead.
.
Use of rootstrap does not require root access, or special privileges
of any kind. This is because it builds the filesystem inside a
User-mode Linux system running under an
unprivileged uid.
.
Filesystem creation with rootstrap is quick and painless. With a
local mirror and a single command, a fresh Debian filesystem
can be created in about 3 minutes on relatively modest hardware.
