Which means you probably need an updated version of debootstrap -- the one in unstable (0.3.3) currently works. There is a version at backports.org (0.3.2) if you're installing from a debian machine--it's not the same as what I have so I can't swear it works, but it likekly does. If you're installing from an rpm-based system, the .rpm's mentioned in the manual at debian.org are from 2004, so you'll need to use, eg, alien to convert the .deb to an .rpm to get a recent version. -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I just know I'm a better manager when I have Joe DiMaggio in center field. -- Casey Stengel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
