Works fine, but it did require some massaging to alter the package names (for example, the aufs packages in Ubuntu are provided by linux-ubuntu-modules and it's ilk), kernel names, and other differences. Thank you for your work. I'll use it if I do not manage to setup 8.10 in the client.

Just to be sure, what would be the default path on which I should chroot? So If I am in the client and I think that installation has begun (How do I know that it has begun by the way?)

What it is funny about ext2resize is that I have download the whole intrepid repository (or I think so), 47,6 GB and there is no ext2resize package nowhere. > Respectfully, > Ryan Thank you for all your suggestions, now, let's see if your suggestions apply all for intrepid too or not. ;) -- Firma Automática 1: --------------------- Adrian Gibanel Lopez Estudiante de Ingenieria de Informatica de Sistemas en la Universitat de LLeida.
