Am I right that one of the reasons for dropping d-i floppies method from lenny is the size of the required boot floopy? I think that the floppies installation method is still desirable. Perhaps it would be good practice to keep the etch infrastructure for producing d-i floppies, even though the files for lenny's boot floppy won't fit a single floopy. A warning about this fact should be placed in the servers directory. What I have in mind is: 1) People who need it will be able to replace some of the files in the boot floppy, perhaps the kernel or initrd, with smaller files that suffice for their installation requirment. Instructions how to do it might be advertized too. 2) Maybe someone will come up with a good method to split the boot floppy into 2 floppies. 3) Keeping the boot floppy might further force the d-i software to be split into smaller, functional, units; which seem to me a good software engeeniring procedure. -- sobtw...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
