No objections for me. I think it makes sense for new devices. As I mentioned, I believed it was worth it when I originally wrote oldsys-preseed but I've changed my mind in the meantime. I think using DHCP + static fall-back for new devices is a good choice. You can achieve this by either a) adding a preseed file to the image or b) adding "support" to oldsys-preseed, i.e. simply telling oldsys-preseed to use DHCP + static fall-back. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
