I am still figuring out apt-get, but I am slaved to the links preconfigured. bootstrap has me baffled.debootstrap --arch i386 sid /var/chroot/sid-ia32 http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian
Seems fairly self-evident to me. Instead of "sid" on the above line say "sarge", instead of "http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian"; use one of the hundreds of URLs on http://www.debian.org/mirror/list - how is this complex or beyond basic common sense?
