I agree with this. The best we can do for now is probably the following: - netcfg and choose-mirror on businesscard - netcfg on netinst (networking is needed for second stage) - none of the above for full cd sets
Do you know how hard it would be to use the d-i netcfg in base-config? Are all the features of cdebconf available in perl debconf? BTW, does anybody know where these udeb_include files are defined? Is this in debian-cd? Gaudenz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
