The ld.so doesn't exist (its part of glibc), but the ldso.deb still
exists (But has to be build without ld.so).

Yep, Bugs are normaly unexpected. :)
dpkg does a chroot to the root enviroment, but it still calls the
preinstall scripts with the path to the root enviroment in front of
it. The link will translate that extra root enviroment to / and then
it works.

The patch compiles it without the ld.so, but with the other stuff
thats in the ldso.deb. ld.so, if I got that right, is just a link and
is integrated into libc, but theres other stuff to that package as
well.

I will bring in my ldso.deb next time I'm here. I had to strip my PC
of its ide drive (now it can't run dos anymore, i.e. no games) to have
enough space on my Amiga.

It is hamm based, but it contains the right dev and etc and so
on. Most important it has a dpkg database, from which you can
upgrade. Well, if you already have a hamm system you won't need it,
but in case your system gets broken, you can restart with that one.

Sorry, its mklinuxfs.tar.gz.

Install your slink system to /mnt/newroot and then do "chroot
/mnt/newroot /bin/bash". Then any access to /xxx will go to
/mnt/newroot/xxx until that bash is closed. The bins will be loaded
from there, the libs, everything. There is no way to get below
/mnt/newroot and destroy anything. Its real nice for testing or for
security with ftp/www server (they use that too :).

Any ftp site of that?
