It worked, to my surprise. However, when the prompt for the root floppy appeared, the LDM/SCSI code in the kernel spewed some stuff about how /dev/sda had nothing useful on it. This could confuse users. o The partitioner asked me whether I wanted to partition my floppy drive (/dev/sda). Bad idea... o I wonder why, since we are moving to UTF-8, we don't set SCREEN_FONT by default in /etc/console-tools/config to latarcyrheb-sun16 and the default locale to UTF-8 for American English installs? It's a good feature and if executed correctly it is transparent to the user. o I think the kernel install should make /vmlinuz and /initrd.img symlinks for the running kernel so that one doesn't have to run update-grub every time. The kernel build system is in charge of moving vmlinuz to vmlinuz.old on a new install, for example. Overall, pretty impressive... -- Joshua Kwan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
