Package: casper
Version: 1.71+debian-1
Tags: patch
The attached patch fixes the casper-getty setup.
There were reports that it did not work on cdrom boots. I don't think
the code in 1.71+debian1 could have worked at all net or cd boot. I
have tested the new code by booting a cdrom image using qemu. This
test shows the code works.
The patch is to the script 25configure_init (Version: 1.71+debian-1)
Regards
Alex Owen
