Thanks. > Best regards, > Aurelien Luca Favatella P.S. I tried debootstrap on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD i386. I executed: debootstrap sid . http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian It doesn't work saying: W: Failure trying to run: chroot /home/user/[...]/debootstrap/. mount -t devfs devfs /dev I discovered that "mount" is in the package "freebsd-utils", and it is not selected by debootstrap. I tried debootstrap --include=freebsd-utils sid . http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian It doesn't work saying: I: Checking component main on http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian... E: Couldn't find these debs: freebsd-utils Con you please suggest me what to do to make debootstrap working? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
