= Packages from Unstable =

When you need a new package that is in `unstable`,
you can follow this procedure.

= enter /target chroot =

The installer does the install the directory `/target`.

You can get there before you reboot
or by using the rescue mode

## something about `chroot`

= download & install package =

Finding the right URL of a package without `apt` is somewhat hard.
Point a browser to `https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/`
and dig deeper from there.
You might end up with an URL
like `https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/initramfs-tools/initramfs-tools_0.73_all.deb`
so do {{{
wget https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/initramfs-tools/initramfs-tools_0.73_all.deb
}}} to get it in your directory. With {{{
dpkg -i initramfs-tools_0.73_all.deb
}}} will it be installed.

When more packages are needed, you have to install them the same way.
