[General] arch=armel directory=/opt/multistrap/ cleanup=true noauth=true <----- I changed this to 'true' so it would build unpack=true aptsources=Grip Updates bootstrap=Debian [Debian] packages= source=http://cdn.debian.net/debian keyring=debian-archive-keyring suite=lenny BTW, is this Debian or Emdebian Grip? How to tell when "aptsources=Grip Updates" and "bootstrap=Debian"? > Use the multistrap documentation: http://www.emdebian.org/multistrap/ I've already been there, but I could of course read it more thoroughly, thanks. (Reading multistrap doc...) It says that multistrap should create a normal debootstrap... I'm new at this, but isn't a debootstrap supposed to have a debootstrap binary inside? Mine does not... Hm, "multistrap -h" example config contains a "bootstrap=Debian" line but online doc uses "debootstrap=Debian" (DEbootstrap). What's the difference? The multistrap doc doesn't seem to talk about what to do after you have built the rootfs. I have successfully built a rootfs with it but none of the packages are configured so I cannot login.
