In the Install base system stage, (sorry- etch, i380 on 3.5 GHz pentium) it start installing a bunch of libraries, etc. fine, then hits this message (it found some additional dependencies, etc.):
Debootstrap warning Warning: couldn't download manpages Then, it can't download any package after that. Finally, at the end, I get: Warning: Failure to run chroot /target mount -t proc proc /proc Debootstrap exited with an error check syslog...etc, etc. I found the Failure to run... message in the archives, but evidently, the person wasn't having all the previous problems I was. I tried to do what was recommended to him (dir /target/lib/ld-*, then try to execute the /target/lib/ld-*, which I did and it worked to the extent I got an error message for a bad command line (not knowing the syntax of the command). There's something in the log printed *vertically* that says it couldn't get debconf version information, is it installed? Then there's a message debconf: apt-extracttemplates failed illegal seek also, there's an error: dpkg: unknow user 'root' in statoverride file and dpkg fails. Any ideas? TIA Thanks & Regards, ---------------- Allen Williams (321)258-1272 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
