Re: boot-floppies: updated i386 and powerpc versions
the debootstrap progress dialog still sucks though, it stops on `extracting whiptail...' and never changes until debootstrap finishes and then the box is popped. users will no doubt think something is br0ke and do drastic things to make it broken. I think we should revert the progress bar, but replace the net-fetch module with the busybox wget code. Then disable busybox wget. That way we get the best of both worlds, I don't get this. The progress that we are trying to track here, I think, is the extracting and installing process. The download part of the bootstrap works fine (both installing drivers/kernel and base). debootstrap gives us nice progress updates while it is using busybox wget, but it doesn't give nice progress after that. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Pointer in boot screen === /doc/install.en.txt is the first authorative document all new debian user should encounter and read. Thus few additions to the document as follows and pointer to this document in boot screen may help dummies like me. Also make sure all text in first blue boot screen fits in the VGA screen. Currently last 1 line needs scrolling. Introduction of second blue page with above information and web site information may be the way to do it. Most dummies just hit RETURN before scrolling page. === 2. Mouse config === Through there seem no Debian policy nor standard on how to configure mouse with gpm and X, slightly more detailed information and/or appropriate pointer in install.en.txt may reduce one of the most asked FAQ in debian-user mailing list. My suggestion is: ---snip insert this somewhere near Section 10.2 -- Mouse The mouse can be used by both in Linux console (gpm) and X window. Preferred configuration / signal flow shall be as follows. mouse = /dev/psaux = gpm = /dev/gpmdata - /dev/mouse = X /dev/ttyS0 (repeater)(symlink) /dev/ttyS1 Current debian default sets repeater protocol of gpm to be ms3 in /etc/gpm.conf which matches with intellimouse for X in /etc/X11/XF86Config. Alternative method is to set repeater protocol to be raw while setting X to the original mouse protocol. This approach to use gpm even in X has advantages when mouse is unplugged inadvently. Simply restarting gpm with # /etc/init.d/gpm restart will fix the problem without restarting X. If gpm is disabled or not installed with some reason, make sure to set X to read directly from mouse device such as /dev/psaux. For details, refer to 3button mouse mini-Howto. End of example --- This is desirable because many documents/distribution differ in how. Also this problem is enhanced, because depending on installation path, X may be installed before gpm (may have been fixed by now in task-list.) I think clearly stating preferred method as above reduces confusion. Some documents such as http://www.newriders.com/debian/html/noframes/ suggests X to read directly from ports such as /dev/psaux without mentioning gpm configuration and confusing. If above described method is not optimal, that is fine with me. But should mention the optimal method in this document. === 3. Debian specific ways === Please supplement section 8.2 with more detailed documents such as one which one of the boot-floppies maintainer posted on the mailing list as an attachment Sysadmin Hints on Debian Linux. 15 Dec 2000 15:57:31 -0500 Adam Di Carlo [EMAIL PROTECTED] If this is too long to include, create a separate document and give pointer to the relevant document is nice.

Newer Sparcs don't support floppy boot at all, though. I decided to use floppies on a Sparc 10, since I didn't have a CD-ROM for Sparc install, and TFTP would have to boot from floppy, too. Needless to say, I didn't succeed at all. I can't tell any more what error exactly I got (sorry !), since this machine is at my uni, and I'm at home now. After tons and tons of Usenet research via groups.google.com, I finally found that there was that OBP bug that prevented floppy booting. Also, this document completely fails to mention *HOW* to boot from floppy on a Sparc (Stop-A - OpenBoot: boot floppy). I'm *very* unfamiliar with Sparcs. This stuff alone has cost me about an hour to resolve, and I wasted about 4 hours on the whole problem in total. The appropriate OBP update can be downloaded as product ID 106121 from http://sunsolve.sun.com (probably needs some extensive searching, since I've found Sun's web infrastructure to be a mess). Note that I haven't tested yet whether it actually fixes the boot problem, as I couldn't apply the patch via Solaris, since I didn't have the root password, since this machine was given to us for a quick installfest. And I didn't have a Solaris boot CD either, for the same reason ;-\ So I tried writing to the UFS via a Linux box in order to remove the root password, but that killed Solaris, as 2.4.6 UFS write support is *horribly* broken (not only DANGEROUS, but BROKEN). Should have used some sector hex editing instead, that would have worked perfectly :-\ So, in short, please add the following info to this document: - how exactly to boot from floppy on Sparcs - boot bug on several older Sparc Ultras, not possible at all on newer Sparcs, OBP update available I'd have loved to get that machine working at that same day, but unfortunately it turned out to be way too problematic. It'll be installed soon, though.

i18n/LC build of boot-floppies is failing. Guess its time to look at
cutting bloat or whatever on i386... Perhaps the mklibs.py library
reduction would make up the difference? Too bad people haven't fixed
that script so it worked in a more maintainable and xplatform way...
E: rootcompact.bin is larger than root1440compact.bin (1691420 1474560)
*gg* I have had the same problem. I ignored the Build-Deps and didn't
install the -pic lib packages, so mklibs.{py,sh} just copied the
original files instead of baking the reduced versions.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.

Re: USB-Support and keyboard driver should go into kernel image
Which mainboard are you using? In many cases, BIOS legacy emulation should work transparently to any OS by using SMI. If your system does not work like that, it might be a fairly new PC2002-based board. I hope you can help to improve USB keyboard support in Debian. Eduard Bloch wrote: now I got an USB keyboard and tried to use it. Bad news: even when the BIOS keyboard emulation is enabled, and the keyboard works fine in DOS, it cannot be used in Linux at all unless the device driver is loaded. This is very nasty. You cannot use an USB keyboard on BFs, not in the initrd shell. I suggest all kernel-image maintainers to enable CONFIG_USB=y CONFIG_USB_UHCI=y CONFIG_USB_OHCI=y CONFIG_USB_KBD=y CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y -- Free software is not for free.

Re: 3.0.15 missing ne2k-pci module?

It can be downloaded and installed before mounting the target root. But the source may be Coda FS (for example), then you need the driver for it. And you cannot put every FS driver into the kernel image. The source FS driver can also be downloaded from the network. I assumed the availability of the network, since earlier in this thread you proprosed installing the kernel-image package from the net! I don't think so. Consider this. Currently, all the required drivers are compiled into the kernel. But suppose we have a stripped-down kernel with networking, tmpfs and as many common NIC drivers as will As said before, count the space before starting to make plans. NIC modules take 2.4MB. Add nfs, code, ntfs... about 300kB. Consider this please. I wasn't expecting to fit all the NIC drivers, just a selection of the most popular ones. Additional FS drivers can be download over the network. If you don't have a network, a single floppy probably won't be enough. VFAT is essential. There are people installing from downloaded archives, stored on FAT. We are speaking about an allround setup system, not something which can be used in fast-network environment only. You may consider such installation methods as unimportant, but many people do not. Look, what I'm suggesting here is an organisation where most people need only the rescue disk and a working network to install. Some may need additional modules from another floppy. Without a network or a local mountable filesystem of a reasonably-common type, they may need a full set of driver disks. It should still be an allround setup system. As for network speed, usually only a small number of modules will be needed for an installation on a specific system, and few of them are more than 100KB. Room for FAT would have to be traded against room for more NIC drivers. Tmpfs? Debian should be installable on 12MB machines. With tmpfs as the provisoric filesystem you don't have much space. Of course you could rely on swap. But Not as a provisional filesystem, just a temporary filestore for downloaded modules. In fact, transferring the initrd contents into tmpfs and releasing the initrd would use less RAM (just the instantanous size of the tmpfs contents and virtually no metadata overhead) than the initrd. Please have a look on FAI or create a such disk for yourself (not complicated, few modification in the BF build system). The you have a custom disk, but only you can use it. FAI is interesting, but a much more constrained system. Okay, but that is your hardware. Look at the lots of different components, this is not really easy. For such modifications, dreams, new ideas, please have a look on the future debian-installer project. Yes, I have been watching d-i with interest since Potato went stable. I have no expectation of any interesting development happening on the boot-floppies - beyond what is needed for Woody. But still I experiment for my own purposes.

Ok sorry. I misunderstood and thought this was the wget progress bar, not the extracting one. -Erik -- Erik B.

I've attached the config. There are a few oddities: floppy and NIC drivers are modular, IDE is built-in (a mistake, for my purposes) and in-kernel NFSD is built-in (another mistake). The initrd on the rescue disk contains modules and a shell. I used to need that to set up LVM, but now all it does is load a few modules, load a ramdisk from the root floppy and start the installer. It could be obviated by building the floppy and NIC drivers into the kernel. It might be nice to at least document how this could be built, for i386 documentation anyhow. The instructions in the installation manual (section 10.3) and also the README in the boot-floppies source are still apt. If you mean the kernel config, what do you really want to have built-in? I don't mind trying a few configs out for size. Regards, Mark.
