Well, the required udebs, iso-scan and load-iso, are architecture 'all', so maybe you can copy them manually and 'udpkg -i <filename>' them. You should run in expert mode, so you can select them from the menu instead of the CD-ROM related steps. If you want a look at the source, see the d-i subversion repository (packages/iso-scan). Building hd-media for ARM would require changes to the configuration of the build system. I'm unsure what exactly would be needed for that. > Is there a problem storing the .iso on the same "disk" as the > distribution is installed on? Same disk is no problem, but same partition is: the partition to which the system is installed should normally be formatted and should be unmounted. > I'm suspecting that when the installation will fail on the reboot, > since I guess I won't be able to mount the Debian initrd (no cramfs > patch) afterwards.

The monochrome problem has been shown before. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBsuX/gm/Kwh6ICoQRAifBAJ9ZCMNhIfTe8Tar0iaKu/ek/G9F6wCfewFq uwC5OrD9nvnssZH6wL4KRlg= =OmqZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
