anyone try using pseudo-image kit...keep getting *** Error: getline(): not interactive, use stdio. error

[Walter Tautz <wtautz@math.uwaterloo.ca>]

when trying to run 

./make-pseudo-image binary-i386-1.list ftp://ftp.ca.debian.org for example
seems to occur for other ftp sites...

there is a note in the readme about using wget instead of ncftp
but it puts too much load on the ftp server. Should I be running as root
perhaps?
