Using your chroot install docs:

Problem the first:

etc.

So, I updated my sources.list as such:

\nbd00402:/etc/network# cat ../apt/sources.list \ndeb http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib\ndeb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free\ndeb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main\ndeb http://security.debian.org/ unstable/updates main contrib non-free\n\n# Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work\ndeb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free\ndeb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US\n

And got the same (more or less) crud as above when I did apt-get update.

Post #68,372 by admin 12/12/02 10:51:55 AM Reply	Some answers: 1) Running 'kbdconfig' instead of "dpkg-reconfigure console-data" seems to work. 2) I missed the resolv.conf step. Did the hostname and the interfaces though. :-) I still haven't gotten the locale settings sorted, though. Is there an apt-get to perform to get a particular locale, like en_US?
