How to build netinst images.
Can someone please explain me in short how to make those netinst
images for sid?
I've tried using the debian-cd package but it's failing for me.
I've changed the debian-cd package to add amd64 to the various
lists with arches in them.
I get:
make list COMPLETE=0 TASK=tasks/debian-installer
Apt-get is updating his files ...
Ign file: sid/main Release
Ign file: sid/contrib Release
Ign file: sid/main/debian-installer Release

This doesn't really look right to me. It seems to be trying to
build the whole CD?
I'm trying to go on seeing what happens I get:

It's trying to use gcc-3.2-base? I guess this is caused by an
old version of debootstrap?
I'm currently trying to do this on alioth. Is this a problem
that I'm trying to build it on an other arch than what the
patckage is for?
I currently don't have access to a machine with a mirror on it
and that has all the required packages installed. But I can ask
to install it and that shouldn't be a problem.
Can someone say what I need to do to get all this fixed?
