This is a Fedora list. Well, debootstrap is included in Fedora and is quite handy for creating virtual machine images of Debian-based distros. I suspect if this was asked on an Ubuntu list they may well direct you back to a Fedora list since we're the ones providing the debootstrap package. :) Devi, I think the problem is that debootstrap-1.0.7 is too old. And Fedora 7 is long past its supported lifetime. You should update to a supported release and try again. The debootstrap command above works fine for me on Fedora 10 using debootstrap-1.0.10. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. -- Dean Martin
