I use this: http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id271960 But not all of it. I just: 1. debootstrap 2. Put the three lines in /etc/fstab 3. mount -a 4. Set up schroot.conf (not in HOWTO) (*) 5. Run "schroot -p" as root to get into the chroot 6. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to what you want (stable/testing/unstable) 7. update/upgrade with aptitude/apt 8. Install what you want with aptitude/apt 9. To run something in the chroot, use "schroot -p <command>" (*) Schroot is not available in amd64 stable, dchroot then. But dchroot in stable has a problem with the login package in unstable in the chroot (maybe the login package in etch too, not sure). I got around that by installing sarge in the chroot, telling aptitude to hold the login package, then upgrading. Hopefully this is complete, correct, and helpful. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
