|
|
|
|
This uses mmdebstrap to do the heavy lifting;
|
|
it can run entirely without root privileges.
|
|
It emits a USB key disk image that contains a bootable EFI ESP,
|
|
which in turn includes a bootloader (refind), kernel, ramdisk, and filesystem.squashfs.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this is the simplest config possible.
|
|
It lacks CRITICAL SECURITY AND DATA LOSS packages, such as amd64-microcode and smartd.
