2000-08-04 Thread Matthew Campbell
Package: boot-floppies Version: 2.2.16 I noticed that though the base system has files in /etc/modutils, and the update-modules command is part of the modutils post-install script, there is no /etc/modules.conf file in the base system. Perhaps the modutils post-install script isn't being run when

Partition file proposal

2000-08-04 Thread Chris Rutter
I have a fairly wacky proposal which concerns, mainly, boot-floppies on Linux/ARM. I've attached the proposal here; it should actually of generic relevance, but I'm only working on ARM for the time being. If anyone had any comments I'd be hugely hugely greatful. If not, skip the message. Thanks

Section 1.3 of the installation manual asks "What is Hurd?" The usage of "Hurd" is almost always with a definite article; the question should be "What is the Hurd?" (and throughout that section as well, "Hurd" should be replaced with "the Hurd" almost everywhere it occurs) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE,
