I'll have to investigate if the need for something other than exim4 can be fixed later in the setup because ssmtp just doesn't seem to have a postinst that is sufficiently robust for debootstrap. The rest I'll get to later but I won't have time for a few days. These things should only be affecting debootstrap - d-i should be unaffected. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
