Bootdisks for Dell PowerEdge 2500 and 2550
Hi When creating the bootdisk for woody can you guys include support for AACRAID used by the Dell PowerEdge 2500 and 2550? The kernelpatch kan be found at http://domsch.com/linux And if you can't include them in the official boot disk package maybe you can make an unofficial boot disk? If you guys could make some unofficial potato boot disk with aacraid support untill woody is releast I would be very happy :) I tried to make the bootdisks myself but the ones i made didn't work, so I must have done something wrong. So the only way right now to install Debian on a pe2550 or pe2500 is to install redhat first and then make a debian installation by hand from the base2_2.tgz package.

Bug#105364: installer allows user to insert underscores in the hostname
Matt Kraai [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: You mentioned a WIP which would allow non-ASCII characters in the hostname. Can you please send me a pointer to this document so that I can update the boot-floppies to comply with it? This is the website of the IETF WG: http://www.i-d-n.net/ This is a good summary of what they have set out to do: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idn-requirements-08.txt It's very early, yet. But a few things are reasonably clear. They'll use Unicode, they just haven't decided on the encoding. That is, all characters which aren't US-ASCII will probably be added to the list of allowed characters. The limit of 63 octets per name component probably won't change, but notice that the number of characters will be less, depending on the encoding. One thing: It would be good to disallow the use of ASCII Compatible Encoding-prefixes. They look like xx--, where x is an arbitrary letter.

Re: Install Success - Not Quite
Well I guess I jumped the gun, the m68k install didn't quite finish. It downloaded all the packages for base, unpacked them all, then stopped during 'Install essential packages'. I tried it twice and it stops in the same place. no error messages, terminal 2 also freezes up. You can type a command but it doesn't respond. No disk activity. Are you having more than a single SCSI disk in use? There's a SCSI driver option to run without disconnects which helps tremendously on these Macs, might even help with a single SCSI device. mac53c9x=1,0 or something like that.

question about X-configuration of debian from newbie.
Hello, first of all, I am sorry if I annoy you with my silly question. I just installed Debian 2.2 (potato) and encountered X-windows problem. It seemed I configured wrong driver for the monitor so I could not start x-windows. Normally, I used Redhat and there was the feature called Xconfigurator which I could configure my montitor later when the driver didn't be compatible and I could probe as well. I don't know if there's the feature like this exists in Debian? I often have the problem with monitor's driver because my monitor is noname so it would be great if debian contains such feature. Thank you so much for any suggestion in advance.

I have configured it using anXious and I believe the configuration to be correct however when I startx I get a screen with rows of dots and unrecognisable squiggles.
