I just installed frozen on a machine here destined to be a router. I used the May-20 disks and the ftp method within dselect. All went pretty well except: in the Packages file "at" is versioned "at_3.1.6-1.deb" while the actual file in bo/binary-i386/admin is at_3.1.7-1.deb. I used dpkg -i manually to get this one in there. There are a few (seemingly harmless) warnings about broken pipes right at the start of the ftp install.
Otherwise I was quite impressed. The option to install the base disks via NFS is a huge plus. I do quite a few installs, and not having to rewrite these disks as the disk-sets are updated will save me a lot. Not a lot of software was installed on this system as it's going to spend most of it's life being a router, so it's not as complete a test of the installation as some others will be... One thing: the only way I could get to frozen from dselect was via the ftp method. All the others only gave me the choice of stable or unstable, did I miss something? Perhaps more people would use frozen if dselect gave them the option, regardless of their install method? Just a thought... 8<--------------------------------------->8 Richard Shepherd ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 8<--------------------------------------->8 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
