Scripts to create the Debian installation floppy set.
This package allows you to create a Debian installation system on floppy
disk or other media, for bootstrapping Debian onto a new system. Most users
will simply download the disk images to do this, and this package will
generally only be used by advanced Debian maintainers.

Changes: boot-floppies (2.3.0) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* first version for woody
.
- this is completely and utterly untested; it is reported to build on
i386 and sparc; I'm sure it *doesn't* build on other arches yet
.
- the purpose of this release is to get wider distribution, and get a
version in woody that at least satisfies dependancies
.
Please help! Read README-CVS to get a version from CVS; use README to
get started so you can build; start picking off stuff from 'todo'.
We are *not* ready for testers yet.
.
* Adam Di Carlo
- debian/control: remove obsolete cslatex, cspsfonts stuff; remove
some obsolete build-depends (closes: Bug#77048); add depends on
console-data, required for loadkeys from keymaps.sh; sync
build-depends and depends; add depends on busybox and
build-essential; remove depends for console-data
- Makefile: break up into files in make/*
- remove rsync mirroring stuff; we get packages as needed apt-get
- stop building or providing base, use debootstrap instead
(closes: Bug#75018, Bug#64565)
- root: use nano-tiny rather than ae as our editor; add net-tools and
busybox packages
- root: remove stuff now in busybox
. remove lazybox for free and lsmod
. remove sed package (/bin/sed) completely
. remove shellutils (/bin/expr) completely
. add a blank /etc/ld.so.conf
- dbootstrap: improve messages when network devices not found
and the user is asked to configure the hostname
* Randolph Chung:
- rework the dbootstrap makefile
- some preliminary ia64 work
* David Whedon
- 'udma66' flavor is now called 'ide' flavor, docs and code updated
- use debootstrap to download base system rather that baseX_X.tgz
- fix handling of nameservers during install (closes: Bug#67510)
- network installation will optionally ask you whether you wish to
install woody, potato, or slink (defaulting to woody of course)
* Guido Guenther:
- SGI partition label support for MIPs
* Ben Collins:
- library reduction updates, now works on PowerPC
* Taketoshi Sano: working on i18n support, adding a new utility,
'shrink_strings' to shrink strings correctly because euc-jp encoded
strings need special treating at line breaking to work with slang and
newt libraries
* Matt Kraai
- dbootstrap network download logging improvements (closes: Bug#92907)
- tell HTTP connections to close when net-fetching, eliminating a wait
after downloading has finished (closes: Bug#93054)
- documentation fixes (closes: Bug#93069)
