Title: Debian...again.
Post by: bam on July 09, 2005, 07:38:21 pm
ok got the extraction to debroot ok.
now at this step
# chown -R root:root etc    getting no such file or directory errors, why?

# chown -R root:root var<---same issue as above
# chown -R root:root home <--seems good no errors
# mkdir -p mnt/card<--seems good no errors
# mkdir -p mnt/cf<--seems good no errors
# cp /etc/hosts etc<--seems good no errors
# cp /etc/resolv.conf etc<--seems good no errors

also vi startd, gives a garbage() error, how do I correct this?

in that case just ignore the error or do chown -R root:root etc 2>/dev/null

I've been working on the debian jumbo pack using v18 of pocketworkstation and it seems a lot cleaner in some instances so a lot of the steps to fix things up aren't required anymore.
