This may be in part because I've confused the installer.... While awaiting for an answer to my previous question, I decided to continue the install from where I left off.
I was booted up, got to "load kernel modules" and declined to load them off the CD. Well, now I went on from there and chose "Install kernel and Driver Modules." I had the install CD in the drive and allowed it to use that. It mumbled and gave me a selection list of one entry whose full name wasn't visible, and I accepted it. I then went on to "Configure Device Driver Modules," but there were no modules there. I went back and forth a few times and discovered the modules are for 2.2.20 whereas I chose a 2.4 kernel. No worries, eject that CD and use disk 1. I repeated "Install kernel and Driver Modules," and this time it unconditionally copied /dists/stable/main/disks-i386/current/drivers.tgz which does not seem any better;-(. Is it worth reporting this as a bug? It seems to me it should work, but OTOH if d-i is the official fix to all these problems I guess there's little point. If d-i is the official fix, what's involved in giving that a run? Note that atm, my desktop machines are all RHL, except when I boot a Knoppix CD. I do have a few basic woody chroot environments setup. -- Cheers John Summerfield Please, no off-list mail at all at all.
