Multistrap includes support for foreign architecture multistraps that need only minimal configuration on the final device. Also supports cleaning up the generated bootstrap filesystem to remove downloaded packages and hooks to modify the files in the bootstrap filesystem after the packages have been unpacked but before being configured. . Unlike debootstrap, multistrap relies on working versions of dpkg and apt outside the final filesystem. . Multistrap supercedes emdebian-rootfs and includes support for preparing root filesystems for specific machines and variants. Also included is the previous emdebian-rootfs support for customisation of package selection and of files created within the root filesystem. . Root filesystems created with multistrap need minimal configuration on the embedded device before the first boot.
