I Don't think
Hi, ive been playing around with kernel modules, and i intend to make
/proc/filesystems, /proc/partitions available as devices in the same way
as busybox's devmtab, devps and devmodules.
My reasons for this are that when debian installer starts one of its
first priorities may be to find space tha

During install there is a question that asks:
"Would you like me to not check the drive for errors?" or something real close.
It defaults to Yes and skips the lengthy drive check. My problem with this
message is that it is very confusing. It should read:

Yes, that would be "vanill
I had the same problem several months ago. My fix was to goto another
machine and buld a kernel image with this driver. Then I just replaced the
kernel on the floppy. Once I figured out which kernel options I needed for
the potato setup to work, it worked like a charm. Do you need this image,
Howdy,
I just tried to install potato on a machine with Mylex DAC960PG
raid card and noticed that the DAC960 driver is a module.
The module is unusable unless one has some other media where
to install the modules and base system (a rare case).

base2_2.tgz and does not belong to base-files
