I assume you are already referring to http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual for installing via debootstrap? The program to run after booting or chrooting into Debian is /sbin/base-config. Then run tasksel to install major pieces of software, and aptitude to pick individual packages. If you have dpkg running, but it's not registered, yo can use dpkg --install dpkg The same logic works with apt-get --reinstall install apt-get -- Debian GNU/Linux Operating System By the People, For the People Chris Tillman (a people instance) toff one at cox dot net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
