I tried to build my own CD today on a slink box that I don't have root
privileges on. The apt that comes with slink doesn't seem to work with
debian-cd (I had 0.3.10 and debian-cd claims to need 0.3.10.1), it
throws some funky errors about "file not found" when trying to make
mirrorcheck. It might be some funky mirror problem, but I tried to
make my local mirror almost identical to the Debian ftp server I had
available locally. I hate that sources.list format ;-/

And it looks like that mirror needs to be complete. Only copying the
packages for the architectures that I want didn't seem to do it :-(
