Debian Testing Installation
Hello. I have been running Debian Potato and I am installing a new system and would like to install the Testing distribution over a network. I am used to downloading the boot floppies however the directories (disks-1.44) does not exist anymore in the dists/testing path. I have read some information about debian-installer but I am confused. Is this the new way of installing debian? If so where can I download it? What do I need? Someone help? Thank you for your time and patience. Ciao Roberto

[d-i] Problem with lmod-detect-pci
The debian/control file for the lmod-detect-pci module seems to be wrong. the section is set to admin, while all the other modules have the section set to debian-installer and the rules script creates a debian/files entry with a debian-installer setting.

I've added the build-dep, but I don't get a versioned binary depend. Hmm. Come to think of it, why doesn't libd-i have the SONAME in the package name?

Yeah, few months ago, some people came to the crazy idea of making "idepci" flavor default, which is the worst of all WRT number of drivers, especially SCSI drivers. Try booting with other CDs or specify another flavor on the boot prompt. RTF boot-screens.

What is there to translate? It's just a list of hostnames. I'd be more worried about e.g. the main-menu, but I think it will use translated package descriptions, right?

How to handle dependencies on unreleased packages?
I'm getting ready to commit my changes that make anna and main-menu share Packages-file parsing code. They do so by a function in libd-i. This means that if you want to build anna or main-menu after I've committed, you first have to build and install the new libd-i, which is still unreleased. Should I let anna and main-menu build-depend on libdebian-installer-dev (>= 0.04) so you'll be forced to rebuild libd-i first? Is that enough, or should I add an explicit binary dependency on libdebian-installer (>= 0.04) too?
