You might have more luck using the in-target command to run your apt-get in /target in an environment better tuned for package installation. > BTW: Is there any reason that automatic update/upgrade at the end of the > install is not done in the official distribution? Because an upgrade process is generally much less constrained than an initial install in terms of what can possibly go wrong. There can be config file modification prompts (due to bugs in packages mostly), and lots of other potential for stuff that wouldn't happen during an install. -- see shy jo
