I've committed most of your template polishing (#218208, #218273, #218342,
#218567, #218884, #220543) to CVS, and the bug reports will be closed when
the respective packages are upload.

Both errors fixed in CVS, thanks.

fdisk-udeb (source package util-linux), actually, according to Tollef.

OK, I've got a patch ready for this, which simply stats /target/bin/sh and
uses that as a heuristic of an already existing install (which would make
debootstrap fail). This would fail if an old /usr partition was mounted
inside a fresh / partition, but it would at least help in 95% of the cases.

Did we get anywhere on this? I'd vote in favour of rewriting partconf using
libparted for the file system generation, but if people disagree I could
probably write a simple progress bar. (In that case, do we want to try to
grok the mkfs output for a few known filesystems, or not?)

Hi,
The included (untested) patch implements a new CLEARSEEN command, which
should be called right before the module aborts. I don't really like adding
new debconf commands all the time, so I'm not committing it before somebody
else acks me on this :-)

Hi,
This has been fixed in CVS. The problem was that total_wanted was decremented
by the amount of distributed space after each partition (which makes no
sense anyhow; all partitions should be treated equal, regardless of which
order they are listed in). Thus, if there was enough space on the disk
How do we handle this as smoothly as possible? Should we insist on a naming
standard of some sort?
For reiserfs we have progsreiserfs and reiserfsprogs (yes, two different
packages with different maintainers), for xfs we have xfsprogs, for ext2 and
ext3 we have e2fsprogs, for jfs jfsutils etc.. Sh
For various reasons, I need to build d-i with my own, custom kernels. Also,
I don't have enough space to store all modules on my installation media, so I
_must_ fetch some of them over the network.
The way I currently do this is:
- Build my own kernel, and rebuild linux-kernel-di (so the modules

To make cdebconf write the database, kill the frontend with SIGUSR1.

A quick test indicates that most interesting mkfs-variations (ext2, ext3,
reiserfs; vfat and jfs are so quick it doesn't need progress, and xfs seems
only a bit slower than that) has at least some kind of progress output, so we
_could_ theoretically grok that. It will be ugly, though...
