Bug#84388: acknowledged by developer (bugs closed in boot-floppies 3.0.14)
* on the Tue, Sep 25, 2001 at 02:48:19PM -0500, Debian Bug Tracking System was blubbering: This is an automatic notification regarding your Bug report #84388: Missing Keytable sg-latin1 in installation, which was filed against the boot-floppies package. It has been closed by one of the developers, namely Adam Di Carlo [EMAIL PROTECTED]. No, it hasn't. The boot-floppies still allow no selection of keyboard sg-latin1. Which is a _great_ nuisance, since sg-latin1 has no resemblance to us or de-latin1. - If I choose US, I normally have an idea where the keys should be (y is z, ö is ;, + is ^, and so on), but not everyone has - If I choose de-latin1, I have no idea where :,#,@,+,-,/,\ and so on are. Try this with vi or dselect.

lib reduction trouble on i386
Hello, did anyone built the bfs on i386 (unstable environment)? I noticed a strang thing, trying to build 3.0.14 and the current CVS: the library reduction is not effective anymore. For example, libc has 1.1MB (but 600..800kB in previous builts). libm is not reduced at all, ld-linux has ~90%, libext2fs ~85%. Still too big. What happens? I doubt the problem is caused by the included packages, but a component in the build system. I tried mklibs.sh and .py, both acts as usuall, but the result is disappointing. I: library reduction pass 1 547 symbols, 547 unresolved I: library reduction pass 2 622 symbols, 43 unresolved I: library reduction pass 3 622 symbols, 0 unresolved But whatever I do, it is allways the same: I: copying root area into loop filesystem tar: ./usr/sbin/pnpdump: Wrote only 2560 of 10240 bytes tar: Skipping to next header tar: ./var: Cannot mkdir: No space left on device tar: ./var/dhcp: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory tar: ./var/log: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory tar: ./var/log/messages: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: ./var/run: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory tar: ./var/state: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory tar: ./var/state/pcmcia: Cannot mkdir: No such file or directory tar: ./var/state/pcmcia/scheme: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: ./var/tmp: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: ./release_notes: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes tar: ./type.txt: Wrote only 0 of 10240 bytes tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors E: ./rootdisk.sh abort make[1]: *** [rootreiserfs.bin] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/bfs' make: *** [build] Error 2 Gruss/Regards, Eduard. -- [Microsoft wirbt:] Ein offenes Betriebssystem kann schon mal mutieren.

Re: mylex SCSI
As far as I know, the only best way is to install to a regular SCSI drive on a standalone host and then setup the support through a kernel compile. However I have the same card and plan on installing Debian to it, I will make a custom 2.2 kernel for the debian-boot floppy disks and let you know how it goes.
