Yep, i feared thus, i will maybe make a new configuration run, but this would mean that the modules udeb are not compatible. Maybe removing more stuff from the kernel and putting it in a initrd as modules would be a solution, i hear there is lot of place on the debian-installer image, but this may only be on x86, not sure thus. > anything that can be removed which would allow it to fit on > a floppy for oldworld booting? Maybe but i don't know. Could you look at the powerpc configuration file, and tell me what i can remove. I guess USB and Firewire are not usefull for oldworld boxes. That said, i am not happy about it, because this will need 1h30 more compilation time on my box :(( Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
