Over the last two weeks I made extensive changes to the boot-floppies
to get it to work with a 2.4.0-test kernel and devfs mounted at boot
time.
I now have a 37K diff with a lot of changes and can install from a
mounted medium but not from floppy.
When I want to install from floppy and select /d

Hi,
I hope that I've got the right list.
I'm trying to install potato from CD and I keep
running into the same problem. Booting from CD1 or CD2 I get to a point and the
installation hangs. The last lines I receive are:
NCR53c406a:no abailable ports
sym53c416c:version 1.00

Certainly. But kickstart is a 1-to-n process (in other words, your

Hi ! I hope this is the right place to ask about problems with
installing Debian GNU/Linux.
I just bought a Debian GNU/Linux version 2.2, 6 cds, from DataClub Inc.
( http://www.dataclub.fi ). It contains 3 cd binaries and 3 cd sources.
When I start installing debian and boot from cd #1, there'

Don't you think it would be possible to make that compile time confi
Hello,
I can't install Debian potato on a harddisk which is on a Promise Ultra 100
UDMA controller. The trader told me, that controller would be the same like the

I'm not really sure how this ended up going to you. It was
intended for whoever sets up the base (perl) system. Seeing
as perl is now necessary for so much, I thought that was the
base system.

Hi,
I need to get (I don't say download) base-*tgz on a running Debian
system. I'd like to use only the information in sources.list to find the
correct location of this file (either on the net or on cdrom or in a
local mirror).
My aim is to create a root filesystem for network-boot using onl

How should we design the `debian-installer' build system?
I think that it ought to be very granular, with a complex dependancy
structure, so that changing one thing doesn't involve a long rebuild
cycle before a testable image is generated. Makeing it work with the
`-j' switch would be a Go
