Debian...again.

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?

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=87694\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

did you cd to debroot before doing any of that?

[bam]

yes

[Meanie]

yes
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=87712\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

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.

[bam]

so youll have a debian install jumbo pack...? If yes, thats way cool. how about the vi startd problem, any insights on that?

[bam]

ok finally, got it! whooohooo, now for openoffice:P
