I'm uncertain how mmdebstrap works exactly, but I wonder, as it can be fed a '/etc/apt/sources.list' file, if the latter contained a line for your in-drive dvd (via 'apt-cdrom add', for example) whether that would work (unsure just how and when mmdebstrap updates apt's package index). cat /etc/apt/sources.list | mmdebstrap > stable-chroot.tar or is it mmdebstrap < /etc/apt/sources.list > stable-chroot.tar Those must be equivalent, I guess. -- “Decisions are never really made – at best they manage to emerge, from a chaos of peeves, whims, hallucinations and all around assholery.” – Thomas Pynchon
