qrmu-debootstrap is also super useful if you want to customize and image for a different architecture (for example building custom RPi images).
Super useful information, thanks!
EDIT: Is this anything like the isorespinner.sh? I’ve previously used that to get Linux on an RCA Cambio W101 because it needed a fancy ISO since it has a 32-bit bootloader and a 64-bit CPU.
I believe the script you are talking about repackages an existing iso. Debootstick builds one from scratch by pulling all the necessary packages from the repository.
For the underlying process of creating this image it uses debootstrap which is the standard Debian way of creating a full system installation (minus the whole bootloader and iso shenanigans). Debootstick allows most options from debootstrap (aka selecting a distro, release, mirror, extra packages, etc).
If you want to create fully custom boot images the command
debootstickis pretty cool too!It’s essentially a wrapper for debootstrap that creates bootable images. It can create both live and installer images.
