Package: installation-reports
Version: 20040102
INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/20040102
Date: 07 Feb 2004
Method: Boot from floppies
Boot floppies worked well. I could not continue installation,
because I have only ppp (modem) connection to the net. I have all
necessary files in the hard-disk (12 GB sarge & woody i386 binaries).
But installation program has only ftp & http methods for file access.
"Get packages from mounted file system" would be good enough. I guess
it would be possible to mount ATA disk from 2. virtual console.
I could buy an ADSL line. In 2-3 months it would cost me a price of a
new 160 GB disk. If distance to center of the town were 1 km greater
I would be out of a ADSL range and fast Internet would cost me more
than one 160 GB disk/month.
First boot floppy asked for root floppy. INSTALLATION-HOWTO tells
that it is floppy-image. It would be better if name were
rootfloppy-image. (Why not boot-floppy.image & root-floppy.image?)
There seems to be access_drivers-image.img, access-image.img,
access-initrd.gz. Perhaps something useful. INSTALLATION-HOWTO does
not help.
I wish there were INDEX file (fill blanks :)
access_drivers-image.img
access-image.img
access-initrd.gz
bootfloppy-image.img 1. boot disk for booting from floppy
bootfloppy-initrd.gz
cd_drivers-image.img

floppy-image.img 2. boot disk for booting from floppy

After deeper thinking, I conclude that this bug is now pointless.
If users want to retrieve packages from locally mounted media, then
this is what full CD or DVD are about.
