Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

I'm following this tutorial:
http://dns323.kood.org/howto:chroot_debian
I'm using the minimal image downloaded from:
Debian Etch 4.0 (U.S. mirror) - [http://www.bfaber.com/dl/etch.tar]
all seems fine through this step:
chroot etch /bin/bash
Then, I'm lost at the following step(s).
***from the tutorial***
# At this point you should have a shell in the new debian roopt
# Fix the broken packages caused by the failed cdebootstrap - above Note - 08 dec 2007 by Chris - I think before proceeding you want to be sure that /proc, /dev, and friends all contain something reasonable - for example as set up by the mount commands in the fun_plug listed at the bottom of this page. Some of the installers seem to get confused when they can't find fstab, /dev, etc.
*update by Richard (23rd Dec 07) I think Chris (above) is right, go through the fun_plug and type in the commands by hand. Also, do dpkg*deb first (below), then libc6.
*update by Paul (18 Apr 08) This all seems much simpler with 1.04. no need to do any of those things afaict.
cd /var/cache/bootstrap
dpkg --force-all -i libc6*deb
dpkg --force-all -i dpkg*deb
dpkg --force-all -i libc6*deb
# repeat next step several times until no more errors
(if you are using the downloaded sarge package the .deb files are located in ”/var/cache/apt/archives” not in ”/var/cache/bootstrap”!)
***end of excerpt***
when I run the command 'dpkg --force-all -i libc6*deb' I get the following:
dpkg: error processing libc6*deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc6*deb
Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm stuck here too. Find a solution?

You get the error because the file(s) do(es) not exist, or at least not in the location you are at. Search to see if they are in a different location.

Yes I know but I can't find them anywhere else. There don't seem to be any .deb files at all in fact, in the etch image. I've been following the instructions here:

If I recall, when I chrooted debian etch, I did not have to do any of that. I believe the wiki page was written for sarge, and had some references updated to etch. I believe in sarge you did have to do these things, but not in etch.
