Running emdebian-tools within a chroot can cause numerous difficulties, especially if you try to create a chroot within a chroot. These problems are not unique to emdebian-tools - it can be difficult to create a Debian debootstrap within an existing debootstrap. > After that I tried to create an emdebian RootFS, but failed. > What's wrong? There are no packages for your rootfs. > BTW: Why have I to use "sudo" even if I already are "root"? I'll look into that. > neo:/# sudo emsandbox --arch i386 --create > Creating an embootstrap i386 chroot > Building i386 chroot on i386 to install i386 packages. emsandbox does not yet support native builds. It is heavily customised for cross-builds. For native builds, use debootstrap as normal - once you've built all the packages you need. Alternatively, consider using Emdebian Grip. > I: Checking component main on http://buildd.emdebian.org/emdebian... > E: Couldn't find these debs: util-linux dhcp3-client libnewt0.52 > libdebian-installer4 cdebconf whiptail zlib1g apt > libncurses5 libstdc++6 libc6 busybox libreadline5 debianutils gpgv > initscripts libgcc1 base-files module-init-tools > base-passwd libslang2 gnupg udev dpkg There are no i386 packages at http://buildd.emdebian.org/emdebian - only ARM packages exist for Emdebian Crush. Sorry. There is no prospect of providing i386 packages any time soon because i386 is not a priority architecture for embedded devices. emdebian-tools does contain support for you to build your own packages but it is not a trivial task and some existing packages do not build natively. armel will be the first to be added, followed by mips, mipsel and powerpc. I don't expect Crush to support i386 directly any time before the release of Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" (i.e. the one after Lenny). It may be possible to build i386 packages but it is completely untested. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
