+# Introduction
+
+The debootstrap tool can be used to install
+a basic copy of a Debian derivative into a folder.
+
+This guide explains how to install a full Kubuntu system with debootstrap.
+However, any Ubuntu flavour can be installed this way.
+
+# Procedure
+
+## Basic Minimal Installation
+
+	debootstrap --variant=minbase wily /target http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
+
+The subsequent commands are all executed inside a
+[chroot](Chroot.md) environment.
+
+## Basic Configuration
+
+### Set language
+
+	locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
+	update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
+
+### Set timezone
+
+	dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
+
+### Basic configuration
+
+Do not forget to edit `fstab`, `hostname`, and `hosts` in /etc.
+
+An example fstab might look like:
+
+	LABEL=System	/	ext4	errors=remount-ro,noatime,discard	0 1
+
+Note: `discard` is useful for SSD disks.
+
+### Optionally, configure keyboard
+
+	dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
+
+### Optionally, configure APT
+
+	# /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99recommends
+	APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant
+	APT::Install-Recommends
+
+## Ubuntu Installation
+
+### Install Ubuntu minimal
+
+	apt-get install ubuntu-minimal
+
+ubuntu-minimal contains useful packages
+which would have to be installed manually in Debian.
+
+These include: `cron logrotate nano netbase net-tools isc-dhcp-client sudo rsyslog`
+
+### Add a regular user
+
+	adduser user
+
+In Ubuntu, the default secondary user groups are:
+
+	adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
+
+### Install kernel and bootloader
+
+To install a bootable system, the kernel and a bootloader
+have to be installed.
+
+The following command installs Grub for EFI with Secure Boot enabled:
+
+	apt-get install linux-generic grub-efi-amd64-signed shim-signed
+
+For BIOS, `grub-pc` has to be installed.
+
+Alternatively, extlinux can be installed instead of grub.
+That section has yet to be written though...
+
+### Install desktop system
+
+At this point, it is necessary to enable the
+`universe` repository component.
+It is a good time to add some repositories.
+
+#### More software repositories
+
+All Ubuntu repositories are enabled using the following configuration:
+
+	# /etc/apt/sources.list
+	deb http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily main restricted universe multiverse
+	deb http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily-security main restricted universe multiverse
+	deb http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily-updates main restricted universe multiverse
+	deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu wily partner
+
+Also refer to the [Ubuntu Help](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu)
+to find about the different components.
+
+Some PPAs are needed to be sure to get the latest software versions.
+First the `add-apt-repository` helper is installed,
+and then those repositories are added:
+
+	apt-get install software-properties-common
+	apt-mark auto software-properties-common
+
+	add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
+	add-apt-repository ppa:rvm/smplayer
+	add-apt-repository ppa:qtbittorrent-team/qtbittorrent-stable
+	echo deb http://debian-mirrors.sdinet.de/debian-multimedia testing main \
+	> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-multimedia.list
+
+#### Install desktop packages
+
+Now do an `apt-get update` and install the desktop system:
+
+	apt-get install --install-recommends ubuntu-standard kubuntu-desktop kubuntu-restricted-extras language-pack-kde-en
+
+Personally, I like to use Chrome and SMPlayer:
+
+	apt-get purge ktorrent dragonplayer firefox
+	apt-get install --install-recommends --install-suggests libreoffice-{calc,impress,writer,kde,l10n-de}
+	apt-get install smplayer mpv ffmpeg
+	wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
+
+Sometimes, some packages have to be pulled
+from [packages.debian.org](http://packages.debian.org) manually.
