Yes. Thanks for the link. I'll have a look.
It seems rather old though (1998), and not maintained any more.

This is what I wanted to do. I just wondered if some ones did it before.

Among others I would have like to be able to bootstrap the process
without having to use .deb packages (As at first I don't have deb
tools...). I didn't find the minimal bootstrap stuff in "regular" source
package (.tar.gz or .tar.bz2)
I know I can use my linux box to "undeb" the source packages and then
probably compile the stuff on the solaris workstation. But this is not
very convenient in my context. I don't have a debian machine available
next (in the network sense) to my solaris station.

Yes.
How about 'libc'?

Would you have something available as a starting point for me?

Too bad...

...in the last resort. Does it really worth to retrieve such an old set
of tools...?
Thankx again.
