It can build a Debian install from scratch or use an existing image. -It manages the starting and stopping of the Debian install. It uses debootstrap -to build up the disk image as a chroot, and then provides start and stop methods -for handling mounting, fsck, starting/stopping sshd, etc.. When the -installation begins it -is best to turn off the screen timeout and not to do anything else. +Want an easy Debian chroot running that you can trust? Install Lil’ Debi, and +you can have a Debian install running with a single click of a button. It +builds up a whole Debian chroot on your phone entirely using debootstrap. You +choose the release, mirror, and size of the disk image, and away it goes. It +could take up to an hour on a slow device, then its done. The entire package +is built from source using publicly available, repeatable builds. It even +includes gpgv and the Debian repository keys in the apk and verifies the +packages it downloads in the first stage of debootstrap before installing +them. It will also check and update a SHA1 checksum to make sure your +debian.img file has not be tampered with. -This is built from source by f-droid except for the gpg part which can be +Then it has a simple chroot manager that fscks your disk, mounts/unmounts +things, starts/stops sshd if you have it installed, etc. You can also then use +‘apt-get’ to install any package that is released for ARM processors. This +includes things like a complete real shell, Tor, TraceRouteTCP, +iwconfig/ipconfig, and other security and crypto tools. Works well with Android Terminal Emulator, just run `/debian/shell` to get a Debian shell. + +The aim of Lil’ Debi is to provide a transparent and tightly integrated Debian +install on your Android device. It mounts all of your Android partitions in +Debian space, so you see a fusion of both systems. Its even possible to have +Lil’ Debi launch the normal Debian init start-up scripts when it starts, so +that all you need to do is apt-get install and any servers you install will +just work. + +Lil' Debi works with as few modifications to the Android system as +possible. Currently, it only adds a /bin symlink, and a /debian mount +directory. It does not touch /system at all. + +This is built from source by f-droid except for the gpgv part which can be built from the instructions in the [http://gitorious.org/f-droid/fdroiddata/blobs/master/metadata/info.guardianproject.gpg.txt metadata] in the fdroiddata repo.
