How to use debootstrap ?!?!?!

[danielb]

Megaman used debootstrap to create the debian5 image...

Purpose: ######## debian-lenny-mipsel-v1.tgz is an image of an Debian 5.0 mipsel installation created with debootstrap. The source code is unchanged and available from the Debian servers.

I tryed to do it in a x86 ubuntu or debian i cant remember, it downloaded all the files but then it gives a error can execute or something like that, because the architecture mismatch.

Soo how to use this CORRECTLY?!!?!?

i m not sure, but i think that after debootstrap finished work, it wants to chroot you into that new installation, it doesnt work because you made mipsel install.
maybe the installation directory contains working installation that will work on your ps2

exactly, it tryies to chroot to finish the instalation.

I workaround by instaling mipsel debian into qemu and debootstrap from there, but qemu is sooooooooooooooooooo slow!

Anyway, i will have to wait until august 8 to test all of this...

I also used qemu to create debian-lenny-mipsel-v1.tgz. With a really fast computer it is possible to get a higher speed than the PS2. You can use the archive and then install the rest with your PS2.

With a dual core pc it should be quicker than ps2 no? In here its slower than the PS2!
It stays minutes decompressing a 500kb package!

The PS2 has 586.54 BogoMIPS with Linux 2.6. My qemu emulation has 1046.52 BogoMIPS. So it nearby has double speed. I was talking about a really fast system. I think a dual core is not fast enough. I must say that I have choosen my components to get the highest speed at development for PS2 Linux.

My Bogo Mips is only 289 less than ps2 and less than your pc......
