A new rootdisk is now available at ftp.debian.org in /debian/private/project/pre-release. This rootdisk changes "Normal Mode" to "Novice Mode" and "Expert Mode" to "Custom Mode", and it makes Custom Mode the default. Also, it supports the new kernel installation scheme by prompting for insertion of the bootdisk after the base system is installed and running the install.sh program from the bootdisk.
I'm not moving it into public view yet, however, because there appear to be a few problems with the bootdisk uploaded a few days ago: * The introductory text is mangled. It needs the msdog CRLFs added to it. * install.sh appears to only install part of the image package. It doesn't install the symbolic link /vmlinuz, which is used by dinstall in several places, it doesn't appear to install any of the modules to the appropriate place. I also noticed the following problems with the base system: * /usr/lib/zoneinfo is mode 777. * The audio devices are missing. * dpkg 0.93.77 was installed instead of the most recent version. When you're fixing these bugs, Bruce, please make sure you have a copy of the newest base packages. I moved a new ld.so into the binary/base directory earlier today, and there should be a new sysklogd package fairly soon. (It's in Incoming but not announced yet--I've asked the maintainer to announce it so I can move the package out of Incoming, too.)
