Hello Joseph,

It is possible that the bootstrap script works with the korn shell, but we
have not tested it on anything else than the basic /bin/sh of the three
supported platforms (Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux) and a few other unsupported
ones.

'Preparing your shell environment' actually is only useful once you have
sucessfully bootstrapped, but I mentioned it because it is quite useful after
we solve these nasty bootstrapping problems.

In any case, it seems to me that the bootstrap script is copying the files to
your target directory (/cw) but not completely finishing. I think it is
breaking before it can create the hierarchy, build the RPM database, change
owner and group permissions, and some other neccessary things.

I also think that looking at the output of either the
openpkg-<V>-<R>.src.sh or openpkg-<V>-<R>.<arch>-<os>.<id>.sh will show that
an error occurred sometime causing the generated script to be incomplete or
somehow break. Please pick your favorite platform and send a copy of the
output. I'll compare it to what I normally see when bootstrapping. Oh, and
be sure to use the latest bootstrap script at:

  ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/openpkg-20020402-20020402.src.sh

Regards,
Michael
