debootstrap

[devi]

Hi,
   
     I am using debootstrap-1.0.7 on fedora 7 to install the debian or
any other distribution mirror.  But in vain, I always get the below
error.  

The specific command is 
debootstrap  --arch i386 hardy /tmp/hardy
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

O/P  is 
"I: Retrieving Release
 E: Failed getting release file
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release"

Please help me out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards,
Devi.
