I myself have been running bind in a chroot-ed environment (it really had a nasty security hole). What I did was: 1. cd to the chroot point 2. tar xvfz <debian_dist_dir>/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/base2_1.tgz 3. dpkg --instdir=<chroot_point> -G -i bind_<...> And then set up some other utilities needed by bind (e.g. sendmail, (ana)cron, ...). Hope I help, Pavel
