  No, I meant add that to the debootstrap command which is contained
 in /usr/bin/xt-install-image:

   my $command = "/usr/sbin/debootstrap $VERBOSE $CONFIG{'dist'} $CONFIG{'location'} $CONFIG{'mirror'} --arch i386 2>/tmp/stderr.log >/stderr.log";

  Then run:

    xen-create-image --verbose ...

  (You need the --verbose flag when running xen-create-image otherwise
 stdout + stderr will get modified when external commands are executed).

  This way you can see the output which debootstrap generates.

  An alternative would be to run "debootstrap --keep-debootstrap-dir .."
 then look in the new image in /debootstrap/debootstrap.log to see more
 details.

  That is strange, running it under the script shouldn't be different
 than running it as a normal user.
