.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBprokit install\fP [\fB-a\fP \fIarch\fP] [\fB-p\fP \fIplat\fP]
[\fB-m\fP \fImirror\fP] [\fB-F\fP] [\fIsuite\fP] \fIroot\fP

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBprokit install\fP installs a basic system of \fIsuite\fP into \fIroot\fP.
.P
For platforms intended to run under \fBchroot\fP(8), \fIroot\fP must be a
non-existent or empty directory.  For PC platforms, including those packed into
RAM-based file systems, \fIroot\fP must be a block device file representing a
whole storage device, not a partition.
.P
\fIsuite\fP can be a distribution like \fItrunk\fP; a channel and distribution
like \fIdev/trunk\fP; a profile and distribution like \fIproteanos:trunk\fP; or
a profile, channel, and distribution like \fIproteanos:dev/trunk\fP.  If the
profile is omitted, \fIproteanos\fP is used by default.  If the channel is
omitted, \fIrel\fP is used by default in the \fIproteanos\fP profile.  If the
whole \fIsuite\fP argument is omitted, \fIproteanos:rel/trunk\fP is used by
default.
