Trouble installing sid via debootstrap
Hi,
I have a couple of servers running older versions of RedHat that I am
interested in migrating to Debian. One is a home server that I can try
things out on, so it was the first test subject. I am an experienced
administrator, though new to Debian, and the install from an existing
Linux system appealed to me. Unfortunately the install did not complete
successfully, and I hope someone can enlighten me about how to fix the
problem or that it just isn't going to work.
I followed the directions in appendix C of the online Installation
manual for Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, but used files from "sid". Is this
doomed to failure? Should I only use the instruction with "sarge"? In
case it is helpful, here are excepts from the shell window:
Thanks for any help,
Cris
