The aptsources will be a single file, two lines long. If you specify cleanup=true then the actual apt cache data will be removed, as will all the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives, so having a dummy apt sources list is not a burden to the system. Many embedded systems do still want to have apt available. > Or do i have a wrong understanding of aptsources? This is more the territory of Emdebian Baked - if you don't have apt, you need to consider why this choice is made: 0: You don't have space for apt - it isn't that large and the larger dependencies will likely be brought in by apt 1: If you remove apt for reasons of space, dpkg should also be removed for the same reasons but this is a lot harder to do 2: As above, to simply not let your space be taken up by the /var/lib/apt/lists and /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin, then just specify cleanup=true to multistrap. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
