Okay. First, can you just confirm which version of boot-floppies you were using? > I'd be glad to do testing, but as for debugging I can't promise anything. >What do you mean by debugging (I never tested boot floppies of a machine >nor am I familiar with the code; Can I run it with a debugger? What is >the testing methodology?) I meant "debugging" in a fairly generic sense, as in figuring out what's wrong. A good place to start would be to run the install up to the point where the error occurs, then go to a shell prompt and inspect the Release file that debootstrap claims is malformed, to see whether it was successfully downloaded and contains a valid Components line. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
