Well, I don't buy that argument in the least. There's sufficient demand in all the other distros (I forgot above to mention the *BSD's ... and even, apparently, Ubuntu's kickstart! [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KickstartCompatibility]) for the implementation & ongoing support of NFS access to scripts -- not like NFS is an obscure file-service protocol or functionality in any case. And, it seems some fairly thoughtful Debian-preseed users (e.g., http://pthree.org/2008/05/20/automating-debianubuntu-installs-with-preseed/) seem to believe that one "... can make this preseed file accessible via HTTP, FTP, NFS, locally on a hard drive or partition ...". Seems to me that there's more than sufficient interest, and rationales, even in the Debian community, no? But, as you're apparently a Debian developer, and we're not, it seems I'm 'being told' ? If that's the case, then we'll have to live without Debian Guest deployments. Thanks, though! BenDJ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
