I have tested debian-installer last 5 days and I have severals
questions:
1) Why do I need to put modutils-basic_2.4.1-2_i386.udeb in
build/localudebs/
( http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/debian-installer )
modutils-basic.udeb is in directory udebs/ (downloaded during make)
2) Even if debian-installer downloads libraries (.udeb) at the begining
of the compilation, it doesn't use them and uses system's librairies
instead (with mklibs.sh)! Why?
I had to install libdetect and pics librairies (only found linc6-pic and
libslang-pic) on my system.
3) Line 235 in Makefile:
I have modified the line:
rm $(TREE)/lib/$$lib.*; \
by
if [ -e $(TREE)/lib/$$lib.* ]; then \
rm $(TREE)/lib/$$lib.*; \
fi \
because after mklibs I receive this error message:
rm: cannot remove `./tmp/tree/lib/libdebconf.*': No such file or
directory
4) You refere to UPX in Makefile but if I uncomment UPX and set the
path, it doesn't work.
Anyway, UPX isn't used in Makefile.
5) Ok, except these problems, when I use the floppy:
- network card detection OK
- manual network configuration OK
- DHCP doesn't work
Here is the error message:
dhclient eth0
installer[59]:expr:not found
installer[59]:expr:not found
installer[59]:expr:not found

installer[59]:socket: Address family not supported by protocol
installer[59]: Make sure to set CONFIG_PACKET=y and CONFIG_FILTER=y in
your kernel configuration!
installer[59]: exiting
- Finishing setting up the debian installer doesn't work
wget fails.
Here is the error message:
zcat:
Usage: zcat FILE
ar: not found
corrupted status flag!!!
...
I have recompiled busybox to active ar applet but I still have zcat and
corrupted status flags errors.
Thanx in advance.
