SUITE TARGET [MIRROR [SCRIPT]] DESCRIPTION debootstrap bootstraps a basic Debian system of SUITE into TARGET from MIRROR by running SCRIPT. MIRROR can be an http:// URL or a file:/ URL. OPTIONS --arch ARCH Set the target architecture (use if dpkg isn't installed) --download-only Download packages, but don't perform installation Sounds like a pretty interesting/exciting idea, although it is not currently implemented, it should be doable. yes, it is interesting/exciting and it looks like there are parts already implemented Geert St -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
