Hi Steve It does now use the specified mirror. I two new problems. 1. it doesn't use the right folder. If I used the mirror "http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/centos/" I get the following error: rpmstrap: debug: get_rpms(): Getting RPM from http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/centos/ --18:16:00-- http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/centos/python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm => `python-sqlite-1.1.6-1.i386.rpm' Resolving wftp.tu-chemnitz.de... 134.109.132.98 Connecting to wftp.tu-chemnitz.de|134.109.132.98|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 18:16:00 ERROR 404: Not Found. File can't be found because it is in another folder: http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/centos/4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/ 2. The packageinformation is old. The mirrors only have the packages of the 4.4 release. For example "rpm-python-4.3.3-13_nonptl.i386.rpm" is now in version "rpm-python-4.3.3-18_nonptl.i386.rpm" Best regards, Gal Steve Kemp wrote: > On Sun, Apr 08, 2007 at 04:08:14PM +0100, Steve Kemp wrote: > > >> No. There is a bug (?) in xt-install-system.
