Hi,
I'm wondering whether Debian could change the format of the distributed
.bin files in the installation floppies. Currently, it seems that the
.bin files are custom made and the program for creating them is not
openly available. I'm thinking that if the installation files are put in

I noticed this warning also. The mga_24bpp_fix option didn't help my
problem, though.

I think Debian should copy Slackware's liloconfig to the distro; it's
simply more useful than Debian's.

Why useless? If your /etc/printcap is set up right, magicfilter (or
whatever you use) will translate plain ASCII to Esc/P and print it
just fine.

Hi, i have a few questions :
is there any way to find out the configuration settings of an active kernel

Does the kernel for Debian have to be Debian specific or are Linux kernels
used generically? ie. kernel used for Debian can be used for RedHat.

Greetings,
What do you think of the following proposal:
I order to simplify for package authors/maintainers and to reduce
duplication, distribute the source file packages in .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2)
format. This avoids the need to provide both .tar.gz, .src.rpm and
debian source files.
