Dear all. I'm trying to get the boot-floppies generation to work because I need to build a custom installation procedure for a machine I want to install debian on (the default kernels do not have drivers for the raid controller on this machine, and there is no ide hard disc, so a special kernel must be used to allow installation onto the raid array).
I've installed the boot-floppies package, ncftpd, and ftpgrab. I've set ftpgrab up to copy ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/base into /home/ftp/archive/debian I've been through the scripts in the boot-floppies package, and made a list of all the other packages that boot-floppies wants, and have setup ftpgrab to get all of those aswell (and dump them in /home/ftp/archive/debian). Thus everything is going into /home/ftp/archive/debian. Inside /usr/src/boot-floppies/config I have the following: ftp_archive := /home/ftp/archive/debian archive := $(ftp_archive)/ but this is not working as doing a make check seemingly lists every single package as being missing. What am I doing wrong here? Is there a file heirarchy that I must follow? Do packages need to be renamed? Can someone help please? Frustratedly, Matthew Sackman
