Sid is often hard to get debootstrapped directly due to the ever-changing library packages. Try setting up a sarge or etch chroot, then chroot into it and set up the network interfaces. Then you can update to Sid with APT (of course you have to set up the appropriate /etc/apt/sources.list file in the chroot first, too). Once set up, you may want to look into the "dchroot" package which lets you give normal users the permission to chroot to the other distribution. regards, -- Kevin B.
