Yes I did it, also for breezy 32 bit it's pretty easy. I Installed, in a pure64 sid chroot, to do not mess my system too much, the debootstrap package from ubuntu sources and used to debootstrap a breezy chroot. It's as easy as: # debootstrap --verbose --arch i386 breezy ./breezy32 http://localhost:9999/ubuntu/ Where the last http can be also a ubuntu primary mirror like http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and if you omit --arch or put it amd64 will bring you the x86_64 ubuntu breezy (or hoary), I'll recommend apt-proxy to save bandwidth if you have storage, btw. Then apt-get in (remember to copy relevant files from /etc, like resolv.conf and set up the chroot as integrated as you need... read X auth...) and install kubuntu-desktop, that have 1 broken suggested package that needs libcairo1 from warty sources! Then You have it. -- ESC:wq -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
