I didn't make a separate /boot partition (though I did create
the required bootstrap one). It does look like the test in
verify_powerpc_mount is broken, though.
Here is the simple, hopefully correct version:
if ((!is_newworld
&& !is_fstype("/boot", "ext2"))
|| (is_newworld
&& !is_fstype("/boot", "ext2")
&& !is_fstype("/boot", "ext3")
&& !is_fstype("/boot", "xfs")
&& !is_fstype("/boot", "reiserfs")))

I went with `hostname', per FOLDOC (which uses `file system').

Bug#123948: can someone test the patch?
One things that came up in the BTS is that the debian-cd package currently doesn't need to manipulate the *.bin images that boot-floppies makes for it. If I understand correctly what we are discussing here the debian-cd package will need to 'mount -o loop' during the build to add those files. That will have to be done as root.

The former is a command that is recognized by most Unix systems and is documented with a man page. The latter is the expression in standard English that is used to refer to that which is returned by the command "hostname". Thus, there can be situations where the two expressions can be used in the same paragraph, but ... 1) they are not interchangable because they refer to different things. 2) the writer who mixes the two must be confident that his audience is aware of the distinction. These considerations do not apply to filesystem vs. "file system" because there is no filesystem command. In general, it is bad writing to use different lexemes for the same thing or idea. Where different lexemes are used without an explicit statement of their equivalence, it is legitimate for the reader to infer that different things are being referred to. Where they are actually referring to the same thing, there is avoidable confusion in the mind of the reader. If the screen is referring to the string that is returned by hostname on a well configured POSIX system, then IMO, "host name" should be used. Consider the following prompts for information: "Enter the string that you want to have returned by hostname:" and "Enter the host name for this computer:" I prefer the latter; the former is needlessly verbose. "Enter your hostname:" is simply wrong. But this is just the personal opinion of one native speaker of American English. -- Paul E Condon| Failure is not an option.

Bug#136384: boot-floppies: routing is not automagically set up, when net-installing with plip
Subject: boot-floppies: routing is not automagically set up, when net-installing with plip Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0.19 Severity: critical Justification: makes it almost impossible to install via PLIP Hi there! I installed Debian Woody on a notebook computer. I do not have a PCMCIA networking card, so I decided to use PLIP. (Parallel Line IP). I used the net-boot mini-CD images by Ian Eure <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. (Identical to b-f 3.0.19, see http://people.debian.org/~ieure/netinst/ ) Everything went just fine, I installed the kernel and device driver modules to the hard disk, and configured the necessary device modules. (namely parport, parport_pc and plip) The I configured the plip0 networking device. (address 192.168.10.15, netmask 255.255.255.0, P-t-P address 192.168.10.5) The system reported that it was successfully configured. But the connection was dead. All ip packaged were lost. After some research I realized that the routing was not configured properly. I executed this: ** * route add -host 192.168.10.5 dev plip0 * ** , and from that point, everyting worked nice again. One more thing: I do not know whether this is connected to the error or not, but when I checked the newly configured plip0 interface with ifconfig plip0, it reported a wrong P-t-P address. I do not know where the bug is hiding, but it should be easy to correct. I'm afraid there might be some users who would be unable to installing woody via PLIP until someone fixes this thing.

Yes, it's clear that the LinuxCounter stats are far from ideal for this purpose. You are welcome to include Catalan if you can find space on the disks. If this involves deleting support for some other language, you will need to select a candidate for removal and present an argument explaining why Catalan would be more useful than whatever victim you have chosen. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Is termwrap working as expected?

Perl will complain every time it is executed if base-config passes on an invalid LANG variable. This is bad and will confuse the users. And, even worse, the install can present unreadable text if the locale is valid, but the charset is incompatible with the console or the current terminal. This is bad as well. > Also, I am feeling more alarmed about trying to get this included > into woody. We are too late for this, IMHO. Perhaps. If it isn't included in Woody, I will have to make my own versions of the packages for the Norwegian Skolelinux distribution. I do not want that. I tested the patch today, and it worked for English install after some tweaks (fixing typos). I'll try to test it with one of the Norwegian locales tomorrow to see if that works there as well.

I've gotten one report that the code which tries to prevent you from making a /boot with an incorrect filesystem type is itself incorrect. It would be great if you could try beating on that part of the installer a bit; try making /boot ext3, HFS (shouldn't work), etc. I really wish UML worked on PowerPC; then it would be a lot easier to test the partitioning code. > Which term is preferred, `host name' or `hostname'.

Some of you have heard my reasoning on IRC the other day, but the correct place to discuss it was here. In short, so many people are asking me to at least try to get Catalan in the default list... We know that the current way of choosing these languages is flawed: it relies on LinuxCounter stats, which are ordered by countries. Some languages in boot-floppies don't have just a country. Others have more than one. For example, when counting French users, do you count France + Canada? Or do you count all the Spanish-speaking users in South America when counting Spanish? In our case, Catalan, it's much worse, as basing on LinuxCounter, there aren't Catalan-speaking GNU/Linux users in the world. Not true :) There are many, and at least two commercial distributions have Catalan support (Mandrake & SuSE, iirc), and thus, are the most extended distributions in the Catalan-speaking regions. There are over 10 million Catalan speakers in the world, distributed in France, Spain and Andorra (and Italy, but that's like a few thousands), so I guess it's a number of potential users that should be considered. More importantly, the Catalan support in Woody is near 100% complete. There's an active debian-l10n-catalan team working on other areas besides bf's (webpages, templates, debian-specific apps) too, which has provided Catalan support for debconf, dpkg, etc. In short, what I (and many others in the team) would like is to see if the selection of languages can be done basing more on the completeness of the install support and not some flawed stats in a webpage.

Bug#136312: boot-floppies: Support list of languages to use like glibc LANGUAGE varialbe
Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A - current CVS
Severity: wishlist
I'm working on fixes for base-config, and in the process I thought it
is smart to change dbootstrap to be able to us the lang->msgcat
content the same way as the LANGUAGE environment is handled by libc,
ie as a colon separated list of langauges to try. It is very relevant
for Norwegian, where Bokmål and Nynorsk is very similar, and very
similar to Danish and Swedish, and it would be better to use any of
these instead of English.
The following patch changes how the msgcat string is used. It is
relative to the current anonymous CVS version.
- Avoid code duplication in main.c, and standardize how the messages
catalog file is loaded. Allow the language code string to be a colon
separated list.
- Modify boxChooseLanguageVariant() accept a list of language codes
- Change release_notes.c to use the same code path with and without
the language chooser. Make it accept a list of language codes.
- In util.c, allow a language list when choosing download host.
- in norwegian.src, demonstrate how this new list should be used for
Norwegian bokmål and nynorsk.

The problem is that base-config must know if LANG uses a valid locale, and if the current terminal can use it. If any of this is false, it must unset LANG (and LANGUAGE) to avoid printing garbage during install. So base-config needs to - Try to generate the locale listed in LANG, unset it if it is not valid. (before running 'locale charset') - Check if the LANG locale uses a supported charset, and choose the proper terminal based on this information. (in termwrap) - Check if the locale in LANG is valid, and if the current terminal can handle the charset, and unset LANG if it isn't (base-config) Of course, these parts use almost the same algorithm, but it must be done in sequence. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I assume we are talking about the patch that looks for "Official" in .disk/info here, rather than just looking for the file itself... That patch wouldn't necessarily have helped me; I want the option of doing a network install, even if I happen to have forgotten that there was an official CD in the drive. Neither did it address the "please pick an item from this list of one items" sillyness. Also adding a new file such as .installable to the image wouldn't have helped me if it's presence completely disables the net install option. I like the idea of a new "shall I install from the CD" question though - that would have have alerted me to the fact that I had a CD in the drive as well.

The idea was to reduce the number of questions that the user gets asked. Debian's installer has long been notorious for forcing you to navigate through countless dialogue boxes, usually just accepting the defaults at every stage. This is tedious and potentially confusing for users. How about a compromise. If an attractive-looking CD is detected in the drive, pop up a single dialogue box at the beginning along the lines of "I see you have a Debian CD-ROM. Do you want to use this as the source medium for all the installation files?". If the user answers yes, behave as if they had booted with the "cdrom" argument and suppress all the media-selection menus; if they answer no, prompt as usual. Also, I am now coming round to the point of view that maybe this decision should be decoupled from the issue of whether the CD is "official" or not. Debian-cd folk, how about adding a new file called ".disk/installable" or some such, whose presence signals that boot-floppies should treat the CD as an install disk. That way people who are creating their own customised disks can make the decision for themselves rather than having to modify dbootstrap, second-guess its heuristics, or ask their users to supply boot arguments. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Maybe I got the wrong impression, but why do we do all this detection and _force_ the user to use that Cd?

Having CD in drive should not disable network install
IMHO anyway; feel free to disagree. Currently if there is a CD in the drive then the question about where you want to install from is skipped. This caused me much confusion when I net-booted an hppa box and tried to install kernel/drivers from the net, while I had an old CD in the drive. I think the 'where do you want to install from' question should still appear, default being CDROM. If the user chooses CDROM and there is a Debian CDROM in the drive, then we can still skip the question about specifying a /instmnt path (which is what really causes the confusion). Also some archs only have one relevant images-* dir on the CD, but we still present a list of one items and ask the user to choose which one they want. I can file bugs if people think these things are worth fixing. Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't think so. The bug occurred when people were trying to reduce the UTF8 libnewt when they also had plain libnewt-pic installed. Because libnewt0 and libnewt-utf8-0 shared a soname, mklibs.sh was making the reduced library from the objects in /usr/lib/libnewt_pic.a, which was causing flashing screens. I think you mentioned that libnewt and libnewt-utf8 still have the same soname, so the potential for the bug is still there. Whether the packaging will still let you install the right combination of libnewt, libnewt-dev and libnewt-pic packages to make it actually happen, I'm not so sure. As far as I know there is nothing actually i386 specific about this, either. It can happen on all architectures just as easily. Perhaps that bit of the check should be removed. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
