This is easier idea. But what to do if you guest file system does not apt-get script
I am using file system available on user mode linux home page $mount -t ext2 -o loop /home/dahuja/DownLoads/UMLPatches/root_fs.rh-7.2-anonsrv.pristine.20020312 /mnt/cdrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# chroot /mnt/cdrom /bin/sh Running apt-get fails as this is avaliable in filesystem [root_fs.rh-7.2-anonsrv.pristine.20020312] sh-2.05# apt-get update sh: apt-get: command not found Please suggest how to proceed further.
