Hi,
The debian-installer-*-netboot-* packages currently explicitly filter
out mini.iso by way of an explicit "grep -v mini.iso", which according

Hi,
For some reason, the netboot installer packages do not contain the
mini.iso files. This is explicitly filtered out by way of a "grep -v
mini.iso", which "git blame" tells me has always been the case.
Anyone know (or remember) why that is so? I think that having .iso files

Hi Matthew,
For these kinds of questions, please ask on the debian-user mailinglist.
The -boot list is meant for development of the installer, not for
support with the full installation images (which contain more than just
the installer). In contrast, the -user list is meant for user support.

Hi folks,
The "netboot" target of the debian-installer build system builds the
PXE-booting files for the installer, as well as a 30-40MB "mini.iso"
image that contains just the kernel and initramfs for the installer to
boot. This makes it smaller than the netinst, which makes it my personal
favour

I've been thinking it might be nice to extend net-retriever so it checks

This could be used for more easily testing modules that aren't usually

Hi,
When installing / to NBD, partman-nbd needs to set up some boot-time parameters
so the NBD server can be found by the initrd.
Unfortunately, since the initrd does not have a working resolver
configured, that means we need to resolve DNS names to IP addresses in
the installer. For that reason,

Hi,
I just spent a few hours trying to analyse this bug, but so far I
haven't found what could cause this.
The message 'Installing grub on ' is generated by this line:
info "Installing grub on '$bootdev'"
Obviously, this "bootdev" variable is what the entire rest of the script
is built to do, s

Hi,
Tried to do an upload of partman-nbd, but it failed. The reason is this
bit of code:
|arch=`grep Architecture debian/control | head -n 1 | sed 's,.*: ,,g'`
|if echo "$arch" | grep -q "`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH`"; then
|arch=`dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_ARCH`
|else

Hi,
Yesterday, I committed a change to nobootloader so it also shows the
output of user-params in the kernel command line, and changed
partman-nbd so it will output a correct nbdroot= parameter. With that,
users should be shown a working kernel command line provided they
entered the server by IP a

That would require a change & rebuild of linux-kernel-di-*-2.6, which
hasn't happened yet (I'm waiting for an ack before I
Hi,
So, I just uploaded the first version of partman-nbd to unstable (which
happened just a few minutes ago as of this writing, so I don't know
whether it's through NEW when you read this).
It still needs some minor work; but this version is already perfectly
usable, and I am a strong believer in
Hi,
I tried configuring the partman-nbd git repo to send out commit mails by
copying the commit hook from another of the d-i git repositories, but
apparently that was a rather naive idea to get it to work -- it doesn't.
Could someone more familiar with the set-up either fix this for me, or

Hi,
A while back, I blogged about success in installing to an NBD device[1].
Unfortunately, that was only partial success; that is, while it works
perfectly well as far as partman is concerned (and therefore also the
base-installer step), beyond that things go a bit wrong:
