[Pkg-escience-soc2009] ./debian-vm-builder --tmp=/var/tmp vbox etch

[Steffen Moeller]

Hello,

I just fixed the invocation of parted with my latest patch. It seems to work fine, almost, ...
The timezone setting with tzconfig is somehow superseeded by dpkg-reconfigure tzdata - no?

Many greetings

Steffen

Here what happens upon invocation of
