Hi Kousik Maiti First of all thanks! Then, I'm sorry but do not understand why I have to do that. I mean, I'using lh_config and lh_build and the only things that change in this procedure is the path to repository. I normally use for lh_config option --mirror-xxx , when using official repo: http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian while file:///root/apt-mirrors/debian when using the official DVD mounted on /root/apt-mirrors Note that I do not use the real media, rather I use the hd iso file obtained using the dd utility and then loop back mounting it to that path. What I do not understand is, in particular, when I should do the update you mention; I suppose you mean I have to use the intermediate scripts and, at a certain point do that apt-get update, isn't it? The procedure stops while performing the debootstrap stage so I do not understand to which source.list I have to add those repo.
Below, I add more log lines: P: Running debootstrap... I: Retrieving Release I: Validating Packages I: Resolving dependencies of required packages... I: Resolving dependencies of base packages...
