It will run in a root terminal on Debian - that is the preferred environment. > What is > Sid chroot? A protected environment that can be used for other tasks on Ubuntu to mimic Debian. emsandbox creates another chroot in which it installs the packages for your device and running one chroot inside another is problematic. Sid refers to Debian unstable, chroot means "change-root" - it changes the root directory to a sub-directory so that programs cannot (usually) access the rest of the system. > > It does work in Sid.

This only happens because emdebian-rootfs is currently stuck in a transition. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
