However, some of them fail because neither whiptail nor one of the debconf variants is available. I've not yet a native compiler; could someone *please* try to build a .deb of these packages? MfG, JBG [1] chroot seems to be little bit buggy to me in the declinux root fs... root@localhost#> chroot base_tgz_dir/ /bin/bash ...results in "cwd: Can't get current path" (from memory). Doing a "ls" shows base_tgz_dir (and other directory entries) which should no longer be available nor visible to the process! chdir()ing into base_tgz_dir manually after doing the chroot command fixes that, but that's a bit confusing to me... -- My ~/.sig is on another host;(
