OK. I just noticed something strange. When I try to update the chroot area, if I leave it with the default repos enabled, I get no updates. If I add
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-updates main restricted to get backports, it wants to install lilo and mbr, but I'm pretty sure I don't want those in a thin-client image. Is there something weird going on? Do I really want lilo and mbr? Should I remove them manually after they're installed? This is just silly...
