Uhhhh, those basedebs are for PowerPC, which will likely not work on his laptop :) The way to generate basedebs.tgz is by using "debootstrap", like: cd /tmp mkdir woody debootstrap --download-only woody woody http://http.us.debian.org cd woody tar czvf basedebs.tgz var debootstrap is a shell script that should run on RedHat; you can get it from: http://packages.debian.org/debootstrap Good luck! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
