if you have a system without the X running, as in case of a server, and
you would like to have rootstrap running, you need:
- to make it work in a console mode, then you need only one fd;
- to use con=pts if you would also see the output of what linux is doing
on the screen.
For instance, today when I worked from the office, I was connected from
the office to my system at home: this is a server and it is configure w/o
X. How can you see the output of rootstrap running?
To allow any user to work with rootstrap, evene remotely, it is the only
way. Otherwise what would you suggest?

Today I finally had a rootstrap working with mirror :)
