Here's a list of the effects verbose and quiet have on dbootstrap. verbose: For LiveCD, ask for the install media (should be livecd) Always ask which mountpoint to mount volumes to Warn that earlier kernels do not support newer filesystems Warn that pre-2.4.1 kernels do not support ReiserFS 3.6
quiet: Suppress confirm before writing the aboot bootloader Suppress confirm before overwriting master boot record Suppress 'Important Information about installed MBR' Don't ask for confirm if only one archive path was found No invitation to install additional modules from floppy Don't mention that s390 doesn't support reboot Suppress confirmation that detected interface is PCMCIA Suppress message about successful DHCP configuration Suppress long message about Lilo and large disk support Suppress long message about PALO and large disk support Suppress SGI disklabel note from Dvhtool Don't chatter about how much disk space ReiserFS uses Don't explain what Apple_Bootstrap is Put the first partition mounted on / without asking Don't offer to scan for bad blocks Don't ask before initializing as XFS, ext2/3, ReiserFS, swap Avoid trying to persuade a swap partition is good Don't lecture before rebooting the system Should this be documented somewhere? Or is it fairly useless info that will be difficult to keep up to date? -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
