Re: Multia Install -- Success!!!
I kept trying to use tasksel and just choose laptop and unix server, but even so it adds x windows, lpr, exim, etc even tho you don't choose them. Weird. Any particular reason why not just deselect everything in tasksel and use dpkg to get all the needed extra crud over base install?

Since mine won't have a hd, just a flash card, I think that won't be much of a problem.

I've got a 2.2ghz intel box running debian on my desk, along with a Mac G3, so I don't need the multia there. 8-) > Just drop the installation after deselecting everything on tasksel. > Next use dselect to add only the required packages and you're ready. > Ah, that would work better I guess.

Just a LCD screen with the computer mainboard on the back, running Jailbait linux on the 16mb flash. It's 233mhz intel, 128 ram, usb wifi. I've got to solder some leads from the sound chip for RCA cables to hook to my stereo so I can play mp3 mounted nfs from my desktop box upstairs. -- Harmon Seaver

Multia Install -- Success!!!
Ahh, finally --- I've been able to get the 30r6 iso to install. What fixed it was repartioning the scsi hd. I had originally partioned it with the Compaq Alpha Jumpstart disk, and there must have been something wrong there, because it couldn't seem to write the files to it properly, although the messages seemed more like the problem was the cdrom. Now, if I could just get it to install a truly "minimal" install. Tasksel sux. All I want to use this multia for is a router/firewall/wifi access point, and hopefully run it eventually from an ide cf card, but so far the install seems to want to install waaay too much stuff. -- Harmon Seaver

So, attached is a fun little kernel patch for people to play with. To make
use of it, just grab the prctl source package, add "alpha" to the
Architecture: list in debian/control, and build.
Working on getting this included in the Debian kernel, and pushed upstream;
see Debian bug #349765 for details.
