Maybe just ship a README.Debian with the correct/latest information. I checked on the README shipped with the package. That document confused me. The Febootstrap 2.x section claims that 3.x can build many varieties of Linux distros. :-) IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF SUPERMIN 4.x: supermin 5.x is a rewrite of supermin 4. It is compatible at a high level with supermin 4 / febootstrap 3, but requires some command line adjustments. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF FEBOOTSTRAP 3.x: supermin 4.x is just an evolution of febootstrap 3.x (really we just renamed it). The previous febootstrap program is now called supermin. The previous febootstrap-supermin-helper program is now called supermin-helper. Apart from that they are identical, although they will evolve and add features over time. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF FEBOOTSTRAP 2.x: febootstrap 3.x is a complete rewrite. febootstrap 2.x could only build Fedora distributions. This version can build many varieties of Linux distros. 3.x only builds supermin appliances, it does not build chroots. 3.x does not build cross-distro, cross-release or cross-architecture systems. If you want febootstrap 2.x, please use the 'febootstrap-2.x' branch from the git repository. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf | http://people.debian.org/~rrs Debian - The Universal Operating System
