aj, I do not want to raise the voice of the woody release manager, but, please just hear me out for a moment. I am not suggesting changing anything in how the install works, or anything to do with the boot floppys packages. Currently, debian-cd creates ISO images that are spread accross several volumes. A while back we decided to put different flavors of the i386 boot-floppy kernels on each of the CD's, to make it easier for someone to use those flavors. I setup the script to put one flavor on the first disk, another on the second, and so on and so on. Currently the debian-cd scripts are setup to put the boot-floppys "default" kernel on the first cd, the "compact" flavor on the second CD, the bf24 flavor on the third CD, the "idepci" flavor on the fourth CD, and all subsiquent CD's have the "default" flavor. What I have suggested is simply swaping positions of the kernel images of the first and third CD. I am not suggesting the change of any other software, or in any way the mannor in which the disks are created. Before you lam-bast me with a nastygram, please grab or create a copy of the woody CD's, and try an installation with CD#1 as the disk you innitially boot from, then try the CD#3 with the bf24 kernel. The first thing you will notice is that the bf24 flavor first asks you for your language, where the "default" does not. Additionally I beleive you will find that the bf24 actually works better on newer hardware. Thanks for your consideration. - -- - -- Jim Westveer - ------------------------------------------------------------ I like the word pedantic.
