Do whatever you may wish about my mail. I do not mind for one second. If I do describe accurately a problem dealing with netinst image, and, as a consequence, I am asked to perform a test with a netboot image (which has technologically nothing to do with the netinst one - I do not have discless workstations and I do not have NICs with boot PROMs), this is a gesture that doesn't even intend to solve the problem itself, but instead tries to play it down with the proved intention that I give up filing bugs. This is just one example of Mr. Perriers behaviour far beyond of good and bad and this is the reason why I lose temper and thus decide not to cooperate with him any longer.... The other part is: This has become a nearly endless thread, and I am not used to that kind of rant. The procedure that I am used to is the following: a. I as user (administrator) give a precise description of the problem that I have. Two or three feedback questions come back in some cases asking me to describe the thing more precisely if I am not good enough doing the description. b. But then the time is right to take action as far as the developer's part is concerned. c. Then I can try the new resultt. d. And so on....... But nothing of that "taking real action" happened: Except of endless seeming ranting and systematically playing down my descriptions giving me the impression that my described bugs ain't no bugs at all I cannot see any progress or attempt to really solve the described problems. Instead of that I am expected to reinstall my workstations (with incompatible disk images additionally - just imagine!) and thus throwing away hours of time for absolutely nothing. And if I refuse to do that because Mister Perriers logic at least to me appears more than strange and adventurous, if not to say completely aside, I am of course accused to be non-cooperative - how ridiculous! If I just calculate the enormous amount of time I spent on writing the bug reports with the one and only effect to face a discussion whether the bug I described is or isn't a bug at all then this output is a real poor one. That's all for today so far. I guess there are far better developers than Christian Perrier, not only as part of the Debian community. I would prefer to work with them on the described issues.
