here we go, just reran: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch amd64 etch /debian_chroot/ http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ Password: I: Retrieving Release I: Retrieving Packages I: Validating Packages I: Resolving dependencies of required packages... I: Resolving dependencies of base packages... I: Checking component main on http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian... I: Retrieving adduser I: Validating adduser I: Retrieving apt I: Validating apt {lots more} I: Extracting sysv-rc... I: Extracting sysvinit... I: Extracting sysvinit-utils... I: Extracting tar... I: Extracting tzdata... I: Extracting util-linux... I: Extracting zlib1g... W: Failure trying to run: chroot /debian_chroot mount -t proc proc /proc Just to clarify I'm doing this since I wish to install Debian (as the main and then only) Linux on the machine, but when tried the netinst it wasn't happy with the CDROM.
