Sorry, yeah. I'd somehow got the idea that this was happening during base-config. Joey's suggestion for having debootstrap suppress debconf mails during the initial setup of base packages seems like the right thing - it's clearly not a good idea for packages to be trying to send mail before the administrator has been given a chance to configure exim. So: reassigning to debootstrap. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
