# febootstrap-install(8)

Install a file in an febootstrap root filesystem

## NAME

febootstrap-install - Install a file in an febootstrap root filesystem

## SYNOPSIS

```
 febootstrap-install ROOT LOCALFILE TARGETPATH MODE OWNER[.GROUP]
```

## DESCRIPTION

This can be used to safely install a new file in an febootstrap root filesystem.

Just copying a file in isn't usually safe, for reasons which are to do with the *fakeroot*(8) command.

## EXAMPLE

```
 febootstrap-install initramfs new-fstab /etc/fstab ugo=rw root.root
```
