I decided it was a good idea to compare the Woody install as well, as we use d-i in Skolelinux to install Woody. This is the list of packages installed by cdebootstrap: adduser apt base-config base-files base-passwd bash bsdutils console-common console-data debconf debianutils diff dpkg e2fsprogs fileutils findutils grep gzip hostname klogd libc6 libcap1 libdb3 libncurses5 libnewt0 libpam-modules libpam-runtime libpam0g libpopt0 libstdc++2.10- login makedev mawk modconf modutils mount ncurses-base ncurses-bin netkit-inetd nvi passwd pciutils perl-base sed setserial shellutils slang1 sysklogd sysvinit tar tasksel textutils util-linux whiptail These packages are installed by debootstrap, but not by cdebootstrap: apt-utils at bsdmainutils console-tools console-tools-libs cpio cron dhcp-client ed exim fdutils gettext-base groff-base ifupdown info ipchains iptables libdb2 libgdbmg1 libident libldap2 liblockfile1 libpcap0 libpcre3 libreadline4 libsasl7 libwrap0 lilo logrotate mailx man-db manpages mbr nano net-tools netbase netkit-ping pcmcia-cs ppp pppconfig pppoe pppoeconf procps psmisc syslinux tcpd telnet To check the "top-level" dependencies, I installed deborphan in the debootstrap chroot, and ran 'deborphan -a': main/net telnet (only debootstrap) main/admin pciutils main/base base-config main/doc manpages (only debootstrap) main/base pcmcia-cs (only debootstrap) main/base modconf main/base pppconfig (only debootstrap) main/base gettext-base (only debootstrap) main/utils syslinux (only debootstrap) main/editors nano (only debootstrap) main/admin at (only debootstrap) main/net pppoeconf (only debootstrap) main/editors ed (only debootstrap) main/base fdutils (only debootstrap) main/doc info (only debootstrap) main/editors nvi main/net dhcp-client (only debootstrap) main/base libgdbmg1 (only debootstrap) Installing libgdbmg1 seem to be a mistake by debootstrap. I suggest at least adding these to the list of packages installed by cdeboostrap in woody: apt-utils console-tools cron ed exim fdutils ifupdown info logrotate mailx man-db manpages pcmcia-cs pppconfig pppoeconfig procpc psmisc telnet I suspect some of this is fixed if cdeboostrap install all required packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
