Hello every,
After my nightly "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade," I reboot this
morning to discover that X crashes when I attempt to login through kdm.
After about the third crash, I get dropped to a shell, where I can login
to the command line, and type "startx," but that crashes, too. I do

libfdisk isn't meant to edit partition tables, only provide

there is no partition limit except on scsi devices which are limited
to 15.
yaboot however has an internal limit of 32, it probably won't see any
past that.

This is a known problem in that base dependancies changed. It is
already fixed in debootstrap, and the next boot-floppies will also fix
this.
To workaround, add libpcap0 to the base line in the woody script.

X put a bunch of small partitions on the drive, bumping my linux

more gigs of free space after the linux partitions. mac-fdisk no longer
shows this space.
