Somehow, debootstrap does not set up /etc/apt/sources.list. I always run apt-setup and s/stable/testing/g on /etc/apt/sources.list Then chroot act as almost fully functional debian system.

Is there any documentation on how to proceed from here? -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D Visit Debian reference http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/quick-reference/ There are 6 files: index.{en|fr|it}.html quick-reference.{en|fr|it}.txt I welcome your constructive criticisms and corrections.
