Thanks for the quick reply! I just upgraded to your 4.1-0 and created a new
image. It's still behaving the same way, no /etc/default/locale and no
/dev/pts. Am I missing something else? (I've never done anything
locale-related). You should find, with the new version of the xen-tools
package, that you have the file hooks/debian/90-make-fstab. That contains
this code: cat <<E_O_FSTAB >${prefix}/etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file
system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump>
<pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts
rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 E_O_FSTAB That should mean that any
debian-guest you install will always have /dev/pts being mounted. Could you
check that you have the file "90-make-fstab" and that it contains those
contents? I assume there will be one of two failures: 1. The /etc/fstab
entryis not present. 2. The node in /dev is not created. If the latter I'd
suggest ensuring udev is installed. Steve The fstab code was there,
installing udev on the guest fixed it!  So is that a bootstrap thing that it
doesn't include udev?
Anyway, many thanks for your help!
