It is rather difficult as of current state, because debootstrap would need to run the "postinst" scripts inside the chroot, which requires that the host arch=target arch. However, if debootstrap creates the chroot by extracting the debs only, possibly running the "sid" script to only up to "x_feign_install dpkg", and possibly hacking a /sbin/init that has: #!/bin/sh exec /post-install.sh and creating a shell script /post-install.sh which runs the rest of install_debs() from debootstrap natively, it sounds like it could be done. Sounds like a pretty interesting/exciting idea, although it is not currently implemented, it should be doable. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Junichi Uekawa http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer GPG Fingerprint : 17D6 120E 4455 1832 9423 7447 3059 BF92 CD37 56F4 Libpkg-guide: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
