Okay. I tried that command, with sudo and without a --variant or --arch, and got the same failure as earlier: % sudo debootstrap --no-check-gpg sid /z http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports I: Target architecture can be executed E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-sparc64/Packages And James Clarke wrote: > The second command should work.

It's not running it as root with sudo that's the problem, I assume. Other than that, Adrian, I think I'm doing the same as you but it's not working. - Chris
