+#  There are four different methods you can use to install a new copy

+#
+#   - Installation via debootstrap

+#   - Installation by copying a previously installed image
+#   - Installation by untarring previously archived image.
+#
+#  NOTE That if you use the "untar", or "copy" options you should ensure
