Lenny is not supported anymore for quite some time, so possibly it can't download the files for Lenny during the debootstrap phase. Try it with a newer version.

Thank you very much Tobi for answering,

Which version do you recommend?

Thank you for your help.

Best Regards

Depends on what you want to do, but I would guess that the current stable version (currently Wheezy) is always a good choice, at least it is for my (physical) servers.

hello Tobi,

Thank you very much for your answer and recommendation, I'll try it with wheezy version.

I'm trying to learn about virtualization on linux this is the reason I want to configure the XEN application in my laptop but i didn't know why was the issue when i was execute the script sent me the previously shown error.

now I'll try with other version how it was your recommendation.

much appreciate your help.

Best regards

Hello Tobi,

I tried with wheezy version but I receive the same error, I'm going to try to perform a reinstallation using a x386 version instead a x64 version maybe it work.

Best regards
