Description: Turn a chroot environment into a bootable image
debootstick is used to generate a bootable image from a Debian
or Ubuntu chroot environment (such as one generated with
debootstrap, docker export, etc.).
This image should then be copied to a USB stick or disk and
used to boot any amd64 machine (BIOS- or UEFI-based).
debootstick can also generate an SD card image for a
raspberry pi board.
The embedded system is ready to be started live (no
installation procedure needed), and is fully upgradeable
(kernel and bootloader included).
