Hi,

Thanks for that quick response.

When I said "freshly baked" I didn't know about "Baked" the Emdebian
flavor (sorry). I'm using (or trying to use) Grip.

[General]
arch=armel
directory=/opt/multistrap/
cleanup=true
noauth=true        <----- I changed this to 'true' so it would build
unpack=true
aptsources=Grip Updates
bootstrap=Debian

[Debian]
packages=
source=http://cdn.debian.net/debian
keyring=debian-archive-keyring
suite=lenny


BTW, is this Debian or Emdebian Grip? How to tell when
"aptsources=Grip Updates" and "bootstrap=Debian"?

I've already been there, but I could of course read it more thoroughly, thanks.

(Reading multistrap doc...)

It says that multistrap should create a normal debootstrap... I'm new
at this, but isn't a debootstrap supposed to have a debootstrap binary
inside? Mine does not...

Hm, "multistrap -h" example config contains a "bootstrap=Debian" line
but online doc uses "debootstrap=Debian" (DEbootstrap). What's the
difference?

The multistrap doc doesn't seem to talk about what to do after you
have built the rootfs. I have successfully built a rootfs with it but
none of the packages are configured so I cannot login. What to do?
