Stale Documentation: ethernet cards

SUMMARY: * getting Debian setup is very likely to be very dependent on "manually" getting the ethernet card(s) online * Linux Ethernet-Howto is very stale! ** many other Howto's are also very stale! I am trying to shed the shackles of M$, but documentation has weighed upon me like a mountain.

Re: [debian-user] I'm coming on board

Mark et all, You have it right. Exactly right! If the installer is currently in a similar state, the kernel modules stuff should be taken out of the installer, net cards should be handled well, kernel modules stuff should be well documented, and people should be educated on the 'lsmod' and

LVM-Bootdisk

Hi I am currently a little bit experimentating with installing debian directly into lvm. Theory is not so difficult, and it works with a lot of handwork during the installation-process. One of the main problems is that the lvm-binarys are so big. So they cannot be on the bootdisk. But getting the

Re: LVM enabled boot disks ?

Hi Erik, I'm still preparing some documentation, but here's the rough procedure. I'm sending a copy to debian-boot in case this is useful to anyone else. Check the boot-floppies software out of the Debian CVS archive. See http://cvs.debian.org/boot-floppies/README-CVS?rev=1.9&content-type=text/v

debootstrap-udeb - should I make it ?

Since it would help clean up my build process for my initrd based on debian-installer, shall I post patches here to add a -udeb section to the debootstrap*/debian/{rules,control} files ? Would they be welcomed ? Seems all that needs to be done is to not run dh_installdocs and dh_installman. Pete

Module location

Hi, when I try to install the modules for Alpha, having the boot disk stuff in a dir on my harddisk, I get: Nov 4 19:14:53 (none) user.info dbootstrap[53]: no '/instmnt//dists/woody/main/disks-alpha/current//images-1.44/rescue.bin' files found, kernel not in the default location Nov 4 19:14:

Package: boot-floppies Version: 2.2.23 Severity: important I had occasion to install using the potato 2.2.23 version of boot-floppies on an oldworld. The quik 'Make Hard Disk Bootable' in that version is unusable. I ended up booting the 3.0.16 installer just to use its make Hard Disk Bootable men

Move fstab configuration?

I used the installer system, after installation was complete, to move some partitions around and re-set the boot configuration. The /etc/fstab was incorrect after I did that (duh). Would it make sense to move the automatic configuration of that file into the Make Hard Disk Bootable step? In my c
