[uClibc] uwoody installation

[Dominique Jacquel]

hello all,

I have been trying to install uwoody inside a vmware virtual machine all 
day without luck. Can anybody point me towards a detailed howto for 
installing uwoody on a blank machine? I have copied the uwoody dist 
files on my local http server to do a net install. So far I have tried 
booting from the debian rescue + root disks and doing the following

wget the uwoody debootstrap script into /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts
run "debootstrap --arch i386 uwoody /target http://my.webserver/debian"

with no luck (debs get downloaded but some tar problem make the install 
fail).
I have tried the same command in knoppix 3.4 without much more success. 
With knoppix, I make a copy of /usr/lib/debootstrap in a rw dir and 
define DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR before running debootstrap.

I would appreciate hearing from people who successfully installed 
uwoody. What is your advice on the best way to get uwoody installed.

Thank you.
Dom.
