In my personal experience of doing it three times and failing all of them, it simply doesn't work. You could try using alien to install the debian packages but it really seems like you want something more comprehensive.
My suggestion would be to attempt a multistrap debian system ( http://wiki.debian.org/Multistrap ). Dpkg just simply was never intended for usage outside of debian. _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list Angstrom-distro-users@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
