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.
