I suggest: Please test this with the latest debootstrap. Iit should work the same on a fully installed system as when installing the system). If it behaves differently, then the problem is probably with busybox wget, in which case - "go report a bug against busybox" Otherwise, please - "go report a bug against debootstrap" Thanks. :) -- ...Adam Di Carlo..<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>...<URL:http://www.onshored.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
