In debootstrap, at the top of the woody and sid scripts I see the parameter mirror_style=release.
Reading /usr/lib/debootstrap/functions I see the options are main or release. Tracing down further I see that release gets the Release files, and apparently main does not - when called as download_main or download_release respectively. May I ask what the philosophy underlying having these alternatives are ? In particular I am trying to do installs from my own partial mirror created with apt-move and I am runing into the problem of having to supply Release files. I would prefer not to use debmirror which would provide release files as I want to install ssh and libssl0.9.6 on my base installs so I can take over intallation remotely on the reboot. (I have 70 nodes to administer) I suppose I could create two mirrors, one of main and one of non-US and call debootstrap twice, once with woody as SUITE and one with ssh as SUITE after writing a scripts/ssh. Would I be better off to incorporate ssh into a scripts/woody-custom and maybe get away wth just changing the mirror_style to "main" from release ? Would this conceivably work ? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
