Dear all, First of all, thank you for this great job on the new Debian installer. I have been using it since beta 1 without too many problems. It rocks!!!
With the avalaibility of powerfull mini-itx motherboards (like the VIA Epia series), the limit between embedeed and normal computers is shrinking. For example, my mail server, routers and firewalls are all VIA Epia cards. Now, I would like to replace their hard drivers with USB drivers (recognized by default). I bought the required hardware (128 Mb USB sticks) and tried the beta 3 installer which stopped for lack of disc space. Therefore my questions are: 1) Are there add-ons, patches available to create a minimal install suitable with Flashcards? 2) Are there plans to publish a stripped-down kernel (3 Mb) suitable for routers and network appliances in SID, which could be selected from the beta installer? It would probably rock. 3) As a similar question, do you plan to add a RAM disc option in the installer, which would perform the required steps to mount /tmp and possibly /var in memory. 4) Are there plans to add compressed FS options in the installer? It may help in breaking disc space limitations. The absolute dream would be a RW cloop like extension or a RW compressed FS. Any help and ideas are welcome. I am looking for solutions compliant with the beta 3 installer. Cheers, Jean-Michel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
