> **debootstrap** is used to create a Debian base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of **dpkg** or **apt**. It does this by downloading .deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory which can eventually be **chrooted** into.
sudo mount --bind /run $HOME/live-ubuntu-from-scratch/chroot/run * Configure external mount points
``` ```
sudo mount --bind /dev $HOME/live-ubuntu-from-scratch/chroot/dev
sudo mount --bind /run $HOME/live-ubuntu-from-scratch/chroot/run
```
As we will be updating and installing packages (among them grub), these mount points are necessary inside the chroot environment, so we can be able to finish the installations without errors.

1. **Configure mount points** *A chroot on Unix operating systems is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and its children. A program that is run in such a modified environment cannot name (and therefore normally cannot access) files outside the designated directory tree. The term "chroot" may refer to the chroot(2) system call or the chroot(8) wrapper program. The modified environment is called a chroot jail.*

> **systemd** is a system and service manager for Linux. It provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic.
