Irelevant since Debian kernels don't use kernel autodetect anyway. Only works if raid is compiled in, not as module. The partitioner in debian-installer does look at the partition type to determine whether or not to load partman-md. And since it's a fresh partition that's been created there's no md signature to detect. James Andrewartha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I use IPv6, but my alpha isn't doing any routing, so no reason to run radvd there...

Etch glibc ...
Hi All - I just wanted to mention that while the "stable" glibc is still broken, a few people are trying to look at it - I recommend people check out the conversation at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=325600 I'm glad to hear that a new alphaserver is coming online for Debian devs to use - I really don't feel "happy that we manage to get a glibc package for alpha". ...tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
