Actually, yeah, the last time I installed a system via 'debootstrap' directly, I think I ran into the same issue and had to manually modify /etc/kerenl-img.conf, and I also had to run 'update-grub' manually the first time in order to fill in the defaults into /boot/grub/menu.lst, which started off blank. I suggest havin a quick read through the book's install procedure again so you can make notes for yourself in it for what extra steps you want to do next time; it'll save you from having the same headache again later. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Feb 4 - Ruby on Rails Mar 4 - TBD Apr 1 - TBD
