Install Debian over loopfs-based Linux
If a person has a loop file system Linux already running (say in a large file in FAT32 e.g. Peanut Linux), how can she install Debian over it without booting from the Debian install CDs? The reason is, when one boots from the Debian CD, the loopfs is no longer visible to the installer to be specified as a target "partition."
Is it just a matter of running dbootstrap from the CD?
The idea here is to install Debian on a loop file system residing in a FAT32 partition.
Thanks
Lynn
