Ah. You need a newer version of base-installer (0.80 or better). This is in unstable, but not in testing (except sparc). Use the sid_d-i build rather than sarge_d-i for now.

For the meaning of the technical term "bind mount", see mount(8). Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
