As far as d-i's concerned, they're as good as the full regular sized CD set, no? Exactly, but they need some extra mechanisms to be user-friendly. For example, on a netinst CD anna should definitely install netcfg, ethdetect, net-retriever and choose-mirror automatically. That should not happen on a regular CD (should still be possible to install them of course, but not happening automatically) but a lot of our testers do use the floppy. Sure. Again there seem to be three ways of doing things: * Boot and install from a CD, or other large media * Boot via PXElinux (ie, netboot), and install via http/NFS/etc * Boot from floppies, then use CD/net/whatever The first two can have 1.44MB images, if necessary, the latter's likely to be fairly unusual, so doesn't have to be completely internationalised if necessary. Indeed. Removing the utf-8 locale from the net 1.44 floppy image will put it below the limit again. However, that means splitting the net image into something that's a floppy image and something that will just produce an initrd for purpose of pxelinux. We'll have to refine our build process a bit, but it should be doable. /Martin -- Martin Sjögren [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key: http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~md9ms/gpg.html let hello = hello : hello in putStr (unlines hello) signature.asc Description: Detta =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=E4r?= en digitalt signeradmeddelandedel
unix domain socket usage in d-i
Hi, What in d-i uses Unix domain sockets? The socket modules udeb is in the cdrom144 pkglist purely for these, AFAIK, and the udeb takes up 53K. There is -15K free space on the floppy ... Alternatively we could remove languagechooser, at 17K; we need to keep other drivers there if possible, automatically start up the CDROM, and then call languagechooser. - Alastair -- Alastair McKinstry [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key fingerprint = 9E64 E714 8E08 81F9 F3DC 1020 FA8E 3790 9051 38F4 He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. - --Thomas Paine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Making netinst CDs Not Suck

Now we need: How does that interact together ? calling the retriever with the config argument is expected to do what ? fill in /var/cache/anna/autoinst ? - decide a /cdrom/.disk/ file. anna_autoinst?

That's easy if you tell me what to put in the files ;-) - file bugs on ftp.d.o to have the priority of the udebs changed to optional so they aren't pulled in all the time. Sounds reasonable?

Re: cdebconf always falling back to English?
[Denis Barbier] In debian-installer, yes. As a debconf replacement, no. Why not? The default fallback language (ie untranslated) is already English, and should be English. Hmmm no, 'en' should be added after other languages. Why don't you append 'en' to LANGUAGE in languagechooser? Because I want cdebconf to display the text from en.po before any language is selected. The first time languagechooser is executed, the language is unset, and the untranslated texts are displayed. The only way to change the language in cdebconf is to kill it and start it again.

I also discovered that whiptail also got the same problem. Check out URL:http://bugs.debian.org/187704 for the bug report and a test script.

Re: d-i - Automated installs
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a kickstart file I have used for Red Hat Linux 7.3. Using this, I can install a RHL desktop on a Celeron (about) 900 in under 15 minutes, with no interaction. I've been thinking how this chould be done in d-i. I believe we need three things: - All packages using debconf to store info and ask questions. - A menu option to save the current debconf database to floppy as a text file. This could be used at the end of the install to save all the answers used. - A boot option should be available to point d-i to the file on the floppy, and it should load all answers from there, and set DEBCONF_PRIORITY=critical. This would make it possible to do one manual install, save the setup to floppy and edit the debconf answers to fit ones need, and then use this floppy for the rest of the hosts. In skolelinux, we use a similar mechanism to automate base-config. I'm not sure if it is possible to extract all cdebconf answers like we do with our debconf-save-answers for debconf, URL:http://developer.skolelinux.no/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/skolelinux/src/base-config-skolelinux/tools/debconf-save-answers?rev=HEADcontent-type=text/plain. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Building d-i as a package
[Alastair McKinstry] It's not clear to me if you intend for the package to include the whole debian-installer source tree, or just the build directory. Just the build directory. I believe I've seen some buildd maintainers complain about packages requiring network access when building from source. We might run into problems with the buildd being unable to fetch the udebs. And I am fairly sure the buildd is compiling as a normal user and not root. This will at the moment make it impossible to build the boot floppies. I suspect this package will fail to build on all platforms until mtools/syslinux will work on an image instead of a loopback mounted device. On the other hand I like the idea of having the autobuilders test d-i. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Woody boot-floppies use flawed kernels
[Thomas Viehmann] For installation at least, a local root hole is completely irrelevant. (There is no root password and no users.) The only thing that needs to be ensured is that the installed kernel is not vulnerable. That means - until a new point release is made, stock kernels should be automatically upgraded via the security.d.o apt-lines, This do not work as you expect it. The kernel used by b-f is copied into place on the HD by b-f. There is no package to upgrade. No kernel package is installed by b-f, and the people with a stock woody will have the security problem until they manually install a new and improved kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
