Maybe you should call it di-utils-mapdevfs to be consistent? Other than
that, I'd definitely say go ahead and commit

No, the partition type should be corrected.

I reorganized most of the code, and hope it work for network installs.
It is commited to CVS. I have tested part of it for CD install

Here is my final patches for utilities/dbootstrap/main.c and

If I understand you correctly, you mean to input, eg. "[ca] Canada" to
cdebconf, with "Canada" being displayed and "ca" being returned.
That would be useful; I could use the same code in kbd-chooser to tidy
its display.
Alternatively we could implement a lookup in the code to translate

we discuss some time about using devfs in the installed system to avoid

devfs is available after the feature freeze of linux 2.6 so it seems to
be availble with this version.

In the current version of base-installer postinst, 'apt-get update' is

I'm trying to get DI code running for a 7043/150 powerpc box. Since the
kernel image and everything is too big to fit on a floppy, the only
