Can someone please explain me in short how to make those netinst images for sid?
I've tried using the debian-cd package but it's failing for me. I've changed the debian-cd package to add amd64 to the various lists with arches in them. I get: make list COMPLETE=0 TASK=tasks/debian-installer Apt-get is updating his files ...

I guess this is caused by an old version of debootstrap? I'm currently trying to do this on alioth. Is this a problem that I'm trying to build it on an other arch than what the patckage is for? I currently don't have access to a machine with a mirror on it and that has all the required packages installed. But I can ask to install it and that shouldn't be a problem. Can someone say what I need to do to get all this fixed? Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
