I agree that it would be nice to get more meaningfull error messages when base-config fails. I'm not sure if extracts from log is the best message to display to new users. At least it is displaying some error message now. Earlier, it would just silently fail. :) > Is it possible to display the debootstrap log file(s) via the > front-end when debootstrap fails? Not as far as I know. I would need some way to insert multiple lines into a debconf template to do that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
