Re: Dependency on boot-floppies

Because this package makes the documentation in a zillion different languages, and it uses tetex to do it. libwww is so that the build procedure can fetch things it wants from the internet. If you don't want to build the whole thing, ie. if you want to skip the doc part, you can probably skip so

Re: kernel-image-2.2.19pre13 for 2.2r3?

Hi, Looks like I'm about to modify the PCMCIA packages to use Anthony Towns' ifup/ifdown utilities by default (with a fall-back to the older /etc/pmcica/network script). Therefore, the correct place to configure PCMCIA network connections will be in /etc/network/interfaces. This should simplify

Re: How I can test the new Debian installation?

Hello Carlos, If you want to learn Debian you may want to start with the stable distribution :) AFAICT, the new install system won't be ready for a while yet. Do you already have a stable ( aka Potato ) system installed? You could test the new system in a chroot environment, if you have some d

This problem has been around for a week or two and it should be fixed as it is preventing people from working on boot-floppies. Problem is with woody branch (at least) $ cvs co -r woody boot-floppies (dies for me exactly as shown later in this message) The problem shows itself when trying to us
