Guess > that's because it is not using the chroot (/target). OK, thanks for testing that - it's very useful. I'll ask debian-boot about the archive keyring. I'd rather not have to create a preseed setup just for the archive key, it'd be so much easier if we could use d-i unchanged. > I skipped the Install Base System in the installer and seleted Confiugre > Package Manager.

For now, if you want to get a working system running Emdebian Grip, one way that does work is to let the installer use a standard Debian mirror, install Debian as normal and then change your sources to Emdebian Grip and dist-upgrade. That's what I did with my Acer Aspire1. Not ideal, I know - I'll try and find out about keys and d-i. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
