Install Ubuntu with debootstrap

From Joyrex Wiki

Background

• I'm going from FC6->Ubuntu Feisty Server

Requirements

• Existing Linux OS
• Some form of debootstrap
  • I grabbed Feisty's latest version from [here] and used [Alien] to get it to rpm format

    • alien -rkv debootstrap_0.3.3.2ubuntu3_all.deb

Steps

• Create partition as necessary (I created a 200G partition and mounted it as /ubuntu in FC6).
• Install debootstrap on the original (FC6 in my case) system.
• Install base ubuntu onto the new OS partition:

debootstrap --arch i386 feisty /ubuntu http://archive.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu

• Put in a basic fstab (at least):
