Install Etch from Sarge with debootstrap question
I am currently running Sarge and want to install Etch, using
debootstrap, so I can play around with it while I still have Sarge to
fall back on. I have set up and mounted my filesystem under
/mnt/debinst, but when I run the following command:
root@xander:/mnt/debinst# /usr/sbin/debootstrap etch /mnt/debinst \
http://debian.oregonstate.edu/debian
I get the following error:
E: No such script: /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/etch
OK. That script does not exist. Is there some way to create it? Do I
have to install Sarge and then do a dist-upgrade? I want to go straight
to Etch so that I will have a clean system without any leftovers from
Sarge, or earlier. My current system has been built through a running
upgrade since Bo (IIRC).

What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
