Hi, All :) Please forgive me if I have simply missed the memo where we bought Ubuntu or Ubuntu bought Debian to where this is an appropriate move.
So what had had happened was... I've been attempting to debootstrap DEBIAN Stretch for a few weeks now. It's been failing MISERABLY. This is the first time it has been like this in the couple years I've been debootstrap'ing Debian. #1 is chroot becomes a user called "I have no name!" instead of root. #2 is apt-get fails, says it doesn't exist at all, so nothing else is possible re growing the new setup. I a-sume that may be a secondary issue that would clear up when user "I have no name!" gets over his/her identity crisis. After yet another failed debootstrap attempt earlier today, I decided that maybe the debootstrap process has changed in some way. That meant a rational next step was to visit our Debian Wiki to refresh my now very stale personal notes on the subject. Within seconds of hitting up the Debian Wiki debootstrap page, I found myself reading the destructions for how to debootstrap in... an operating system that is not Debian. For a split second I thought maybe it was something about a Debian package. NOPE. Those instructions on the debootstrap page include a repository link leading off and completely away from anything even remotely Debian. https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap Toward the bottom of the page there... My sincerest apologies if I have in fact missed the memo where that's the direction we're going. If it's an executive decision that was made, that's.... what it is what it is... what it is. #ThankYou to *EVERYONE* who contributes. Debian has been a MAJOR part of my abject poverty level computing for several years now. Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * [redacted for Civility's sake] :) *
