It didn't, because the packages are not mentioned in the Packages
file.  I believe this patch fixes the problem.  I checked that the
updated packages now is listed in Packages, but I haven't done a test
install yet.

Good looking CD covers would be very nice.  I remember a few years ago
I looked for some nice CD covers, but was unable to find any.  Of
course this is a bit better now.  Have a look at
http://www.debian.org/CD/artwork/>.

Hurd

2002-07-10 Thread askwzh

Hello,

I am a FS fan in China. I am interested in GNU's software, and I am using
 Debian GNU/Linux now--although I write this E-mail under Windows. And I
also want
to try  Debian GNU/Hurd. And I land on the homepage of GNU/Hurd to get more
about
it.

After that, I still have questions. I want to know the packages-list in
detail of  Debian GNU/Hurd H4's four CDS ! Can you give me the URL of that
information or in another way!

Thank you!

Best wishes,
Yours, Steven Wu

I do not know if we are on the correct mailinglist, but I do have some
comments on your issues.

The reason for this is that debconf now is installed noninteractively
by debootstrap, and that base-config never tries to reconfigure the
package after installation.  I'm not sure if it should reconfigure it.
It does for the passwd package, for obvious reasons, but is debconf
level important enough for adding another question to the installation
system?

I do not know why gpm is missing from the CD, but I do know that gpm
previously could make the installation hang when installing on
machines with no PS/2 mouse.

Hello,

Not to offend anyone but the artwork on the page is nothing to write

Perhaps further follow ups of this thread should be in debian-user?

Two reasons:

- It was asked/prompted in prior installation CDs that I have tried
  (potatos r1, r2, ...).

- "debconf" is something that makes Debian different!
   First time users (who do not upgrade), should be aware
   that "debconf" exists.

For the some reason, I am using gpm the make a non PS/2 mouse work.
(trial and error by using gpmconfig). But, perhaps kudzu is
a better way...
