How to create a Debian install inside a chroot with Debootstrab

debootstrap --arch i386 lenny $CHROOTDIR http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian

debootstrap lenny|testing|unstable

Remember you can use release name (lenny) or type testing; the important difference is that if you use, say, squeeze, which is now testing, when it becomes stable, you stay on squeeze; if you use testing, you stay on testing even when squezee is released. --arch can be omitted ftp.us.debian.org if not set it's the default setting
