Package: boot-floppies
The release notes (I happened to be looking at SPARC, but I think that
section is generic) only seem to mention the kernel RARP server, which is
more or less obsolete. They should mention that rarpd is used instead, with
newer kernels.

I built my own tftpboot.img using boot-floppies 3.0.21 source, and
everything works.

I also tried potato's tftpboot.img, which does boot, but dbootstrap hangs
after downloading rescue.bin. All I can do is kill dbootstrap.

You need to add unstable to sources.list, otherwise how is apt going to find
the proper packages from unstable? Yo

Yesterday, I got an iMac (NewWorld) to play with at work, and decided to
install woody on it. It has no floppy drive, so the only bootable woody
installation media that I could find were ISO images at:
http://people.debian.org/~ieure/netinst/
which I burned onto CD-R.
Unfortunately, at the tim

If we are worried about reputations, the best thing to do is to get a
release out the door with updated versions of common user packages. Users

I'm not bothering to file a real bug about this unless someone tells me
otherwise, because it's an odd case and we all want to get a stable release
out the door. But I'm sending a message here so that if it happens to be
trivial to fix, someone will do it.

I just recently packaged User-mode Linux for Debian
