Package: boot-floppies Version: N/A; reported 2001-12-27 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Boot floppies are useless if they can not install the base system. The version is 3.0.19, obtained from http://sbih.org/debian/bf3.0.19/. I was trying to load basedebs.tgz from an already mounted ext2 partition. This installation option repeatedly failed to locate the directory where the archive was located. Interestingly, I could go to console two, and cd to the directory containing the archive, thus convincing me that the filesystem was properly mounted. However, the installer could not locate this archive from a full path. /target/.... By the way, the option <...> at the end of the line could use some explanation. Trying to use it causes the installer to forget the path to the archive. What is the purpose of this <...> facility?
