Hi, I made a patch to produce bootable netboot image for (mainly) USB stick. After this patch is applied, 'make build_netboot' will build boot.img.gz in dest/netboot/ directory for i386 and amd64 with both text and gtk installers. Because I didn't know well about other architectures, my patch didn't touch them. This boot.img.gz is more convenience than hd-media image for usual installation scene (install Debian into machine with wired network), because it isn't necessary to copy any ISOs, isn't necessary to setup TFTP server, and is pretty small. Currently I set 63MB for this image but we can change it to even 31MB. (I assumed user may copy firmwares and something into it). Thanks, - -- Kenshi Muto [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8+ <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iEYEARECAAYFAkkeUMYACgkQQKW+7XLQPLETBQCgzrkKs7tEsCe7rw3n5Ip4WMsz ChMAoLE9pS8kwzRjeSZrK0p52Ilt/dOv =ly50 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
