I see this only now, I am not subscribed to this list... this is also the reason why I am breaking the threading, I was trying to reply to this from master, but it ran out of space again, sorry for the inconvenience. After downloading a fresh cdimage, I noticed it probably hasn't changed since friday, the md5sums match. So I just did what Goswin said, fixed /usr/lib/debootstrap/script/sarge to load libgnutls11 instead 10 and after three tries (first it installed 10 and 11, and had some trouble, then awk existed, and I had to remove it manually) it installed fine! Grub even detected the Debian/i386 installation and lists it under other OS, didn't try to boot his yet, though. So why again is AMD64 not yet on the debian mirrors? It rocks! Christian
