If I understand right, this is to work around a current ugly hack in d-i to make sure that nss is actually loaded on the install media. In order to avoid having to load all of libc-2.3.2.so onto a floppy, we use mklibs to reduce it and create a custom libc.so. The problem is mklibs has no way of knowing about the NSS libraries. The solution proposed would be to put libnss-udeb onto the boot media with the reduced glibc. libc-udeb would still get used at a later stage in the installer. I think option (3) is probably the best. Tks, Jeff Bailey -- Ignorance was bliss. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
