Package: partman-base Version: 141 Severity: normal Usertags: gsoc2010 Tags: patch
Hello, Currently the default filesystem is ext3 on all systems. However, Hurd only supports ext2 and kFreeBSD requires ufs as its root filesystem. The attached patch sets a system-specific default, provided none has been preseeded. An alternative approach would be to load a system-specific "pre-preseed" file at the beginning of the installation, though I'm not sure what other configuration items would need system-specific defaults. My suggestion would be to use my patch as a first step and review the situation when/if more system-specific defaults prove to be necessary. Any thoughts? (or irrepressible urges to commit my patch? :-) Thanks, -- Jeremie Koenig <j...@jk.fr.eu.org> http://jk.fr.eu.org
