debootstrap

Why are you trying to use debootstrap instead of just deploying an Ubuntu image?

Hey there! It most certainly is possible, you can do so from rescue mode (by mounting your data disk created in the Manager at /mnt and specifying /mnt as the direcotry for debootstrap to install to) but you can easily deploy our Ubuntu 14.04 or even 16.04 image, so there's really no reason to do it via debootstrap.

Hope I was able to help :3

Thanks for the help so far! I'm setting up a basic mail server and so I setup separate encrypted partitions as I didn't want unencrypted data being written to disk. I also prefer Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS as some of the server-side software I'm using depends upon it rather than Debian GNU/Linux.

I still can't seem to get it installed though and I'm sure I'm using the proper syntax. Can someone post the syntax I should be using, using the Wikimedia Foundation mirror, to install it?

(I had to create a new account as I couldn't remember the other account's password and I couldn't reset it.) :oops:

Again, why are you trying to install from wikimedia instead of just deploying ubuntu?

and why did you setup a second account to post?
