    # Install Debian/Ubuntu/Kali like Arch/Gentoo
    Indicators:
    - <<>>: Replacable
    - <>: Replace

    1. Download and boot from a Debian/Ubuntu live CD:
    <https://www.debian.org/CD/live/> (if you have an existing Linux system with debootstrap support, skip to step 3)

    2. Login with `user:live`

    3. Setup and mount disks at `/mnt`. Arch Linux has a good guide to
    this: <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning>

    4.

    Install and run debootstrap

    : - `sudo apt-get install debootstrap` (or `sudo pacman -S debootstrap`, `sudo dnf install debootstrap`, `sudo xbps-install debootstrap`, `emerge -a debootstrap` and so on...)
    - **Replace RELEASE below with the name of the release you want to install, like `jessie` or `vivid`**
    - Debian:
    `sudo debootstrap <RELEAS>E /mnt <<http://ftp.debian.org/debian>>`
    - (If Ubuntu) `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-archive-keyring`
    - Ubuntu:
    `sudo debootstrap <RELEASE> /mnt <<http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu>>`

    5.

    Mount Filesystems:

    : - `sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev`
    - `sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/proc`
    - `sudo mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/sys`

    6. Chroot into your new system with `chroot /mnt /bin/bash`

    7. Edit `/etc/fstab` <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab> or install `arch-install-scripts` and use `genfstab /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab` **before you chroot**

    8. Set hostname with: `echo <host> > /etc/hostname` and edit `/etc/hosts` to match it, although editing `/etc/hosts` is not required because it is already set

    9. Set timezone with
    `ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/<ZONE>/<SUBZONE> /etc/localtime`

    10. Set root password with: `passwd`, and make a user if needed (`adduser <user>`)

    11. Generate Locales
    - `apt-get install locales`
    - Edit `/etc/locale.gen`
    - `locale-gen`

    12. Install a Linux kernel
    - Locate the apropiate one with: `apt-cache search linux-image`
    - Install it with `apt-get install linux-image-<version>`

    13. Setup Bootloader (skip to 15 on installed OS)
    - BIOS: `apt-get install grub-pc`
    - UEFI: `apt-get install grub-efi`

    14. Install Bootloader with:
    - BIOS: `grub-install /dev/<DEVICENAME>`
    - UEFI: `grub-install --efi-directory=<efi-dir>`

    15. Exit Chroot with: `exit` (installed OS users must update the bootloader, if Debian/Ubuntu isn't recognised, skip back to 13)

    16. Umount everthing:
    - `sudo umount /mnt/dev`
    - `sudo umount /mnt/proc`
    - `sudo umount /mnt/sys`
    - `sudo umount /mnt`

    17. Reboot with `sudo shutdown -r now`

    18. Remove installation media,

    19. Enjoy!
