m68k basedebs.tgz broken
Hi, it seems the current m68k basedebs.tgz (as found at) http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-m68k/base-images-current/ is a plain tar archive, uncompressed. (Previously, it was gzip compressed, at least the copy I have from around April last year). The installer (from 3.0.18-2001-12-21) doesn't seem to cope (there's an error flashing on the main screen but no details logged on console #3). I've extracted the archive manually now and continue faking a net install (with the debs already in place). Unless it's a simple installer-basedebs version mismatch, can we get that fixed next time? There should be a way to continue a net install that got interrupted by flaky network hardware, by the way (meaning zero length or otherwise broken .debs need to get re-fetched). As far as I recall, I had to remove the broken .deb myself to get the install to proceed further. My ethernet card would be the perfect test case for this :-) Hardware: Atari TT, 14 MB RAM, couple of SCSI disks, Lance based VME ethernet card that seems to go belly up after x amount of traffic, needing a reinit...

So far, the only reasons I've seen are: 1. Support for new hardware. Without initrd, you can include only so many hardware drivers. And for all of the important drivers that I can think of (such as NetGear FA311TX, AICRAID, Promise Ultra IDE etc.), the support is already in at least one of the latest 2.2 images anyway. I'm running some new quite expensive servers. Dual processor, 1GB RAM, and not to forget a few ultra-fast-wide-narrow,bla.bla scsi-3 disks. And oh, it's the Mylex AcceleRAID adapter, and oh I can't install with a 2.2 kernel, since there are no DAC960 drivers in any of the boot disks! Thus I have downloaded and build my own custom kernel, given boot-floppies and debootstrap a good look, and build my own installation CD for these machines. Because I really want to run Debian. So far so good. But I installed Mandrake 8.0 on the first server I got. I needed something running fast, and didn't have time to do this work then. 8 MONTHS later, having had the time, I have reinnstalled with Debian and my own handmade CD. If you would include an optional boot/installation cd with kernel 2.4, using initrd to support DAC960 and USB, I will sing with joy! I would rather help someone have a viable alternative boot/installation disk with 2.4, than do such things alone. And I'm looking forward to telling other people who know windows 2000 server, that installing debian isn't that hard. They just need to make diskettes, buy a book about basic Linux, and off they go! Right now I give them CD's with Mandrake 8.1, as I didn't have time to make many flavoured kernels, or set up 2.4 with every module, and an initrd to load them at boot. I really look forward to having the possibility of using kernel 2.4 while installing from some pre-debian-made diskettes/cdrom. - -- Sincerely Jørgen Hermanrud Fjeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjxbCLoACgkQCx+ABR2dqkKbDwCghs917UHqlndKuBbtrdmYvESZ +zsAn1TA3VPoTJg7YAYsye+J/HcanH5P =icmA -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bullshit. The compact flavour has the DAC960 driver.

The equality test has higher precedence than the assignment, so it assigns the comparison result to res. The assignment needs to be parenthesized so that it happens before the equality test, which is what I committed. Many thanks for finding this. Matt msg15302/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
