Build issue

[Will Senn]

All,

I got the Sculpt 22.10 build working in Debian 11.6 Bullseye via 
VirtualBox. Now that I've successfully built the bootable image, burned 
it to USB, and deployed it successfully to my t430 a couple of times, 
I'll try doing the build on Debian running on the t430. Here's the 
cleaned up set of notes for posterity - I still see the tar issue with 
vim-minimal, but stuff seems to work at the end of the day.

# On the host (2012 Macbook Pro running Mojave w/Vbox 6.1.40), download 
11.6 "bullseye" netinst

# Create a new debian virtualbox instance
* 8GB RAM
* 2 CPUs
* 20GB HDD
* attach ~/shared
* attach debian-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso

# boot the cd and do text mode install
* Debian desktop environment
     * Cinnamon (relatively lightweight and works)
* standard system utilities

# boot debian and edit sudoers to not require a password
su -
visudo
add NOPASSWD to sudo group line... NOPASSWD:ALL

# add user to sudo group
usermod -a -G sudo wsenn
logout and back in (actually required a restart)

# note: apt will ignore already installed packages
