RootStock
The RootStock project aims to create a command line and graphical set of tools to create a fully configured tarball or VM image of an Ubuntu rootfs from scratch, so that you can extract it to a root device on e.g. armel systems.
Creating a rootfs can help you testing Ubuntu in devices that are not official supported. It also helps you if you want to create smaller images, or just different flavors of Ubuntu (with Gnome, KDE, XFCE, etc).

Download
RootStock is quite tight with Ubuntu, so we recommend you to use Ubuntu Jaunty, Karmic or Lucid.
Official distro package
Just install rootstock for cli or rootstock-gtk if you want to use the GUI (not well supported).
$ sudo apt-get install rootstock
Development branch
If you want to use a not yet released version, or want to contribute to RootStock, just pull from the official branch:
$ bzr branch lp:project-rootstock
PPA
For older Ubuntu versions you can also use RootStock in order to be able to use the latest features.
