Hi Joey! You wrote: Regarding whether any package currently exists to help with sound card selection, no idea -- sounds like libdetect is the best chance. There's also sndconfig. It may be limited to ISAPNP cards, I am not sure from the package's description. No, it also detects pci cards. It's far from perfect though, and something based on libdetect would probably work much better. -- Kind regards, +---+ | Bas Zoetekouw | Si l'on sait exactement ce | || que l'on va faire, a quoi| | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | bon le faire?| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Pablo Picasso | +---+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes, at least two simple ways with the latest rev of base-config. Either choose not to run tasksel or dselect at all (which results in just the base system being installed), AFAIK in current potato floppies there's no APT setup done in that case, which, well, doesn't make things very easy. Or has that been changed lately? or have it run first tasksel, and then dselect and de-select anything you dislike. I'd hardly call that easy.

Bug#99185: Problem installing Potato on an Amiga 1200
Now since this version did not work either for Peter, can you mount the linux partion by hand in the installer? Maybe it is not formatted yet? I haven't formatted it yet -- I was hoping the installer would do that for me :-) I can mount the Amiga partition (that's how I got the fdisk and dmesg logs out of the program). -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

This one should be called before trying to mount the filesystems, did you do that? I can mount the Amiga partition (that's how I got the fdisk and dmesg logs out of the program). We are not talking about amiga partitions here are we? After all you want to install on an ext2fs partition. Try formatting your linux partition from inside the installer 9or by hand if that does not work) and then mount them, from inside the installer or by hand.

That's the problem with having a laptop for testing. Please, do test. im tinkering with it now, i cleaned up some of the useless cruft in the yaboot function (quik cruft that wasn't used). i gave it a run yesterday and the partition checking stuff seems broken. when i have no Apple_Bootstrap it tells me / and Apple_Bootstrap must be on the same partition. not that i need an 800K Apple_Bootstrap. as a sidenote i would prefer for dbootstrap to notify the user they screwed up immediatly after they exit the partitioning program that they no/incorrect Apple_Bootstrap partition, rather then waiting until after they go to all the trouble of installing the base system to tell them they must start over... (believe me ALOT of people screw up the bootstrap partition creation, they think they did it right but didn't). I stripped out the yaboot.conf file I was generating to add the yabootconfig stuff. I didn't go back and clean out the rest of the junk. Ooops. Primarily, I wanted to make sure my patches got in to prevent someone from duplicating my effort. Thanks for the cleanup. I'll look through the logic again. I probably hosed up something obvious. i still don't fully get how the find_partition_() functions work, but p-disk-name seems to resolve to the whole disk (/dev/sda for example) not the Apple_Bootstrap (even when one is there). this is obviously a Bad Thing. Right, it should probably be p-name (if I remember correctly). I must not have been having a good coding night. let me work with the yaboot code a bit and ill see what i come up with.. a suggestion/clarification about the find_partition/fdisk_partition stuff would be welcome if i don't figure it out soon enough. one thing i think we should add is a dialog explaining that making an oldworld bootable usually requires some effort on the part of the user no matter what, typically running apple's System Disk control panel to get the nvramrc patches, and of course the ritual goat sacrifice. Hmmm. I never had to do this, perhaps I'd better thoroughly read your documentation and then go back over what I've written. The only real trick was the goat sacrifice and I'm use to that from supporting Microsoft stuff. not all machines need anything more then boot-device. beige g3s for example are not one of them... Do you mean some machines need more or that not all machines work using this approach? I've seen references to the beige g3s being problematic. I can do the nvsetenv from C, the only odd bit was that I had to use, for example, ofpath '/dev/sda' and append a 0 instead of '/dev/sda6' for boot-device. Fortunately, this was documented several places because it's a known feature. its a limitation of ofpath.. it won't return a path with partition 0. it could be fixed i suppose but it would change the semantics in a way i don't really like. can't you read ofpath's stdout right into a variable or something? dumping it into a file, then reading the file strikes me as rather kludgy.. no offence ;-) Oh hey, it's definitely a big ugly kludge! I was writing a shell file to grab ofpath and set boot-device, boot-file, input-device, and output-device. I'm not sure that isn't a bit more elegant. When it turned out I didn't need anything but boot-device, I scrapped the rest of it. It might be useful to try to set input-device and output-device based on model anyway. That would give us a better failure mode in case things go awry (at least on the models we can help on). What do you think? it should probably be a dialog letting the user backout, since if OF fails to boot they will get the notorious `black screen syndrome' I should definitely clarify that bit about the black screen and probably include a note about cmd-opt-P-R. yes definitly. Then, I'll make it happen. Hopefully tomorrow. Thanks, Stephen -- Stephen R. Marenka If life's not fun, you're not doing it right!
