Thanks. This confirms that debootstrap only installed about half the packages it downloaded. I make slow progress by fiddling and installing packages missed by debootstrap, but it seems the packages have to be downloaded from on line rather than use the packages in apt archives. I after configuring, I findally get to the pont of installing a kernel, and here again, the installation failed because it could not find a file: setting up kernel-image-2.6.7-1-386 (2.6.7-2) ... /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: /dev/fd does not exist Failed to create initrd image dpkg: error processing kernel-image... ... :\# ls -l /dev/fd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2004-08-22 12:48 /dev/fd -> /proc/self/fd I had the impression that there's nothing in /proc until I've booted the disk. In a booted system, this /proc/self/fd is itself a symlink and it gets complicated;; I'm at a loss how to proceed.
