DONE

I'm gonna do this all over again for 18.04 LTS but should be MUCH MUCH easier chrooting into an Ubuntu ARM64 system from an Ubuntu ARM64 system. All the commands will work without qemu and I've preloaded the system with build essentials. I really don't plan on investing much more time and effort in it but nothing is held back so it should upgrade to 17.10 without problem.

Cya next year, probably on a new website for Islamic State Linux, the #1 choice for jihadists around the globe. LOL... Some people believe anything they see on TV "news" (propaganda)
