I guess this patch is also fine. Can you send a sample /etc/melco/info file so I can test the script? Also, it would be great to add a test case to tests/arm Having said this, I've recently started to wonder whether oldsys-preseed really is worth the effort on devices that default to DHCP. Maybe in those cases we should not parse the config, but simply create a preseed file that does DHCP and falls back to some address. This would simply things a lot. And it might make sense for the LS, which uses XFS by default, which we cannot read. But on the other hand, given that you've already written the parsing code, I don't see much harm in sticking it into oldsys-preseed. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
