Why did this solve the problem? * The X server on the host did not have a TCP/IP listener, only a unix * domain listener (e.g. /tmp/.X11-unix) which was not available in the * chroot until I bind mounted /tmp. * Another solution would be to have the X server listen on an IP * address,which I disremember how to do off of the top of my head. > Oh, I build the chroot using: > > cdebootstrap -f minimal --arch i386 sarge /chroots/sarge-ia32 > http://apt.lan0:9999/debian > > I then mounted /proc inside the chroot, copied /etc/resolv.conf, > /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow, /etc/apt/sources.list. > > I then chrooted (chroot /chroots/sarge-ia32), installed openoffice and > xterm. > > TIA > James richardson
