Don't know if I ever heard that, at least not that I can remember that topic specifically. I just know that debootstrap always *WORKS FOR ME*. Well, *IT WORKS* except for that one time that root kept yelling, "I HAVE NO NAME!" That eventually turned out to be caused by symlinking /debootstrap-directory/var/cache/apt/archives to an offline dotDEB file hoard. Accidentally discovered that using "mount -B" instead of "ln -s" solved root's identity crisis. I've been "bored" lately and so was going to spend some time nosing around to see if any other methods are dialup friendly. What you said... I'll have to poke around at that, too. Something in the very back of my head is nagging that I may have read some disgruntled chatter LONG before it ever made enough sense to find a more permanent spot toward the front of the class where its topic would remain more..
