Hi, it depends on what you're after. If you want to proceed quickly and have something up and running fast, go for a prebuilt FS. It's also an easy way of getting into UML. Otherwise you can just build a new one. Isn't debootstrap available on Ubuntu? That's what i use to install debian into a file container. Something like this: dd if=/dev/zero of=root_fs bs=1M count=1 seek=750 mkfs.ext3 -F root_fs mount -o loop root_fs /mnt/debinst debootstrap etch /mnt/debinst Regards, Benedict ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
