Bug#66009: 32 Mb, but "Sorry, not enough memory" (caused by new kernels sysinfo syscall)

2000-06-21 Thread Debian Linux User
Package: boot-floppies Version: N/A; Severity: normal The problem is that sysinfo has changed with recent kernels: Anything before 2.3.16 (incl 2.2 and earlier) has: struct sysinfo { long uptime;/* Seconds since boot */ unsigned l

localized bf for potato release?

2000-06-21 Thread Marcin Owsiany
Hi all! What are our plans for them until language chooser is ready (which I guess won't be before potato release) 1) will the localized versions be included with 2.2.16 (which I guess will be the version for potato release)? or 2) are we going to have non-official separate localized versions?

Package: boot-floppies Version: N/A; Severity: normal When installing Debian, the installation of the Driver disks reads past the end of drivers-3.bin (that probably what tar/gzip allways try) Normaly that wont be a problem, since a real floppy will have some spam after the driver-3.bin, but whe

Bug#66037: apt configuration failure (cannot access non-US software)

2000-06-21 Thread Goswin Brederlow
Package: boot-floppies Version: N/A; Severity: grave On the first boot the apt configuration asks the user whether he wants to use non-us software and later it asks what protocol and server to use. I choose ftp and specified the server manually, choosing my local mirror. The problem then is that

Bug#66038: You cant install base.tgz from a mountable filesystem

2000-06-21 Thread Goswin Brederlow
Package: boot-floppies Version: N/A; Severity: normal You can only install the base.tgz file from cdrom, floppy, mounted or network (http). Now it probably isn't uncommon to have a debian mirror available via nfs (at least install stuff) when one has more than one system. If I'm right, slink had
