your mirror must have all the packages debootstrap will want to download (you need to read debootstrap source to find that out), and it MUST have a complete, and correct Packages AND Release files. the mirror must live on a non-crippled filesystem (ext2, ufs, xfs, reiserfs... NOT hfs, msdos, NTFS...) since that kind of mirror is only possible if you already have a *nix box around, probably debian, your correct, you must have a net connection or you have to buy/get a CD. please take this and other boot-floppy/debootstrap discussions to debian-boot. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
