Hector, Thanks for the response. I see what you're talking about, but I'm afraid I'm still at a loss for how to express the dev component as part of the multistrap config. When I add it to the source line in the config file, I get one kind of 404 error. When I try to substitute it as the suite I get a different 404 error. The multistrap man page doesn't really go into this kind of detail in its example. Could you provide an example that pulls from a component?
Thank you very much, -Jim Heck For example, when I tried it as the source line like this: ... [Dev] packages= libc6-dev libncurses5-dev source=http://www.emdebian.org/grip dev keyring=emdebian-archive-keyring suite=squeeze ... I got this error multistrap 2.1.6 using squeeze-grip-ilom-config Using foreign architecture: armel multistrap building armel multistrap on 'i386' INF: Setting ./lib64 -> ./lib symbolic link.
