         There are several available methods of installation, depending upon the
        users choice.  Only one option may be chosen at any given time.

         The methods available are:

       debootstrap Install the distribution specified by the --dist argument using the debootstrap.  If you use
       this option you must specify a mirror with --mirror.
       copy Copy the given directory recursively.  This local directory is assumed to contain a complete
       installation.  Specify the directory to copy with the --install-source argument.
       rinse Install the distribution specified by --dist using the rinse command.
       rpmstrap Install the distribution specified by --dist using the rpmstrap command.
       tar Untar a .tar file into the new installation location.  This tarfile is assumed to contain a complete
       archived system.   Specify the directory to copy with the --install-source argument.
