I tried to add "2>/tmp/stderr.log >/tmp/stdout.log" to my default  
command:

xen-create-image --hostname=intranet --ip=192.168.115.17 --verbose 2>/ 
tmp/std
err.log >/tmp/stdout.log

but the the stderr.log was empty, and stdout.log told me nothing new.  
When running:

/usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch i386 --verbose sarge /xen/domains/test  
http://ft
p2.de.debian.org/debian/

all went fine.

I've got dpkg installed on my machine, but the host is x64 and I need  
to install i386, that's why I added "--arch i386" to the command when  
I ran version 1.x.

Thank's in advance for all the help.
