I have installed aptosid - 2011 xfce and it is rocking! There is one small issue..

I have to install wireless driver for ipw2100 which was detected by fw-hdetect..

To do so , I tried to chroot from my Ubuntu install ..When I issue

1. mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
2.mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
3.mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc

4.cp/etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf (mounted sid partition in mnt)

I get error in this step

cannot copy to dangling symlink

How to resolve this?

I ran into this too, /mnt/etc/resolv.conf is a symlink pointing at nothing at this time.

What I did:

Code:

ls -l /mnt/etc/resolv.conf  # write down to restore later

rm /mnt/etc/resolv.conf

cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/etc/resolv.conf

Then do what you want to do &
Restore that sysmlink after booting

Probably not the most elegant way but did the job for me.

Try
mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc
too. Not related to your issue, but still.

I did never cp resolv.conf, are you sure you need to?
