So then mounted the iso as a loopback. mount -t iso9660 -o loop <iso-image> /mount-point this here helped: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot and debootstrap was pointed to the loopback mounted iso and worked like a treat. The partition was chrooted to clean up the installation. Its way faster than a CD install!
