Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.4.3
I am using a serial console, on hppa. When deboostrap is installing
the debs, I get text scrolling up my screen like this:
Unpacking ppp (from .../archives/ppp_2.4.1-1_hppa.deb) ...
Selecting previously
deselected package sysklogd.
Unpacking sysklogd (from
.../sysklogd_1.4.1-2_hppa.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package tasksel.
Unpacking tasksel (from
.../tasksel_1.1-1_hppa.deb) ...
Apart from looking a mess, this has the effect of scrolling any
dialog boxes off the top of the screen.
I havn't tried a woody install on a graphical console, so I
don't know where the text goes in that case.
