Assumpte: Re: [DNG] Devuan armhf / armel for my Samsung / Google Chromebook model XE303C12 "Snow" ?
I'm going to install devuan chimera on my PC (cpu intel I9,64 bit). Later I
want to debootstrap the correct version of devuan for arm-hf / armel. Can
you tell me if this command will work when I will be running devuan ?
thanks. I prefer to discover things by doing most of the time than by
reading from a lot of confused sources,if the topic is very technical.
Please understand me.

debootstrap --arch armhf chimaera /mnt http://deb.devuan.org/merged/
chimaera
