ok - that seems to work.
one problem though - now when it gets to extract the last package (whiptail) I get the following error "Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg --force-auto-select --force-overwrite --force"
/var/log/messages reports the following
Oct 9 19:04:07 (none) user.info dbootstrap[49]: running '/usr/sbin/debootstrap --boot-floppies --arch mips sid /target http://ftp.uk.debian.org:80/debian'
Oct 9 19:31:27 (none) user.err dbootstrap[49]: Failure trying to run: chroot /target dpkg --force-auto-select --force-overwrite --force
Oct 9 19:31:56 (none) user.info init: Process '/sbin/dbootstrap' (pid 49) exited. Scheduling it for restart.
is this important ?
also, after finishing the install and rebooting the Indigo2 boots off it's hard disk fine - gets as far as:
Starting system log daemon: syslogd.
Starting kernel log daemon: klogd.
Starting internet superserver: inetd.
Starting deferred execution scheduler: atd.
Starting periodic command scheduler: cron.
and then stops - any ideas ? I recon I must be almost there !
Cheers
