Without this it installs nothing. Need to handle the keyring packages, probably.

Along with the distribution and default_suites, this can be done via emvendor or just plain dpkg-vendor support. (I've also decided not to put the grip-* conf files into multistrap for similar reasons.) The vendor stuff could also specify when to turn off SecureApt and the mirror to use. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
