That's also how I retrieve my packages. I basically ripped the

Hi all,
I've installed an nfsroot Sarge system for my mvme2300. I installed
the cross tool-chain from EmDebian onto my workstation, then the
kernel-2.6 source from the Debian repository. Cross
compilation worked fine and the kernel was running well (with a few
warnings) with my old
Potato filesystem. Then I installed debootstrap by brute force onto the
Potato filesystem,
using wget and dpkg -i --force-depends. Then debootstrap ran properly
and I could follow roughly
the procedure written in the debootstrap manpage. However the new
filesystem was unable
to boot properly without an inittab file, which was not installed by
debootstrap and which I
still don't know in which package to find. I just copied it from Potato
to Sarge and it worked.
There was a lot of work to do in the chroot session before beeing
able to login after a
boot to the new filesystem: essentially install apt and then use it to
install all the packets
whose name contains "base", plus the "pam" system. Then copy hosts,
resolv.conf hostname, passwd, shadow, group, gshadow into /etc. From
that point I had a pure Debian filesystem in which I was
able to login and I could install much more using the wonderfull package
management system.
As you see, building the filesystem was rather painfull (I ommitted
some tricks in the story
above). And what if I had not already a running Potato system? Thanks to
this discussion thread
I discovered the possibilities given by apt's config file but it is not
clear to me wether it can do it
or not.
Once you have this installed, I don't see the point with docs: docs
dont reside in ram; they're
on an inexpensive nfs-mounted disk. I understand the point about
circular depencencies
but there is no problem if your system is "dpkg-consistent". Of course I
am speaking as a Debian
customer, not as a developper!
Gabriel, since you listen to this list, have you ported your VME
driver to kernel 2.6 or
are you planning to do it ?
