    Hi,

    I have created two diskless client with debians diskless package (I've
    followed every step and created diskless-createbasetgz and
    diskless-newimage as well). The clients boot perfectly, every seems to
    be ok. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is installing new
    packages with apt-get. I've tried apt-get update on booth clients, and
    as chroot root (in the /var/lib/diskless/defaul/ directory), both ways
    failed. The error I get is:

    Err http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages
      Something wicked happened resolving 'security.debian.org:http' (-3)
    Err http://debian.sysinst.ida.liu.se stable/main Packages
      Something wicked happened resolving
    'debian.sysinst.ida.liu.se:http' (-3) Err http://ftp.se.debian.org
    stable/main Sources
      Something wicked happened resolving 'ftp.se.debian.org:http' (-3)
    Err http://non-us.debian.org stable/non-US/main Sources

    ... and so on...

    I've updatet the apt/source.list in:

    /var/lib/diskless/default/root/etc/apt/
    /var/lib/diskless/default/130.236.189.92/etc/apt/

    but this doesn't help either. I have Debian 3.0 with kernel 2.4.19. Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    Thanks in advance,

    Pernilla Uhlin
