Question: is there somewhere on the net a script (*) such that: * it accepts two parameters: a debian release (etch, sarge, woody, ...) and an (empty) directory; * it installs required/essential packages (_all_ of them but _only_ them) of such a release as a chroot in that directory ? [Mybe also a third parameter will be useful, the architecture] (*) complete and explicit lists to use with debootstrap are a solution. (debootstrap by default installs quite more than really required/essential packages). Every time I do someting like that, too much time is spent for dependency hunting. Ad every time I forget to save the list of packages :-( -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te. Digli di smettere.
