Re: d-i first-stage configuration
Quoting Joey Hess ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): What if we changed how some items on the main menu are displayed, so the short version (before the whole installer is loaded) looked something like this: Well, I think this is more or less an implementation of one of the two proposals I came up in the bits about lang/countrychooser. Indeed a really interesting idea I definitely like. For sure, this is an important change but this area would have needed one anyway. So, if there is here someone able to code this, I definitely vite for it About countrychooser : we would then use the current countrychooser? For languagechooser : this leaves us the choice to either go for one language, one entry (languagechooser_ng) or one language, few entries (the current languagechooser).

Re: I'm interested in helping with the installer help text
Quoting John Buttery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): So, if you have time to give to the d-i project, then proofreading the debconf templates should be a good help. Definitely; that's right up my alley. One of my main ideas is that I always thought the help text should very explicitly state this is what you should put in answer to this question if you don't understand the question and want the safest answer, so I'd like to work on that kind of thing...but, I'm not opposed to just doing simple proofreading without changing the content if that's what the project wants. Is the goal to lean more toward professional phrasing or informal if it helps convey the information? While I do kind of pride myself on being able to do both at once, sometimes they're a little mutually exclusive. During the first proofreading phase, I have tried to have both together. A more professionnal wording was sometimes needed. However, as Joey stated the priority is being informative, not too verbose...and precise...:-) So you have the correct information for doing this (where to grab templates files and son on)? I don't have anything yet; the email you replied to was the first real interaction I've had with Debian (other than a couple of bug reports). OK. There no real framework for proofreading user interaction templates, contrary to translation stuff.. You should be able to grab the needed files from the CVS Web interface.or by checking out a local copy of the CVS repository on your system. Do you need additionnel information for this or may I just point you to go to alioth.debian.org and look for the debian-installer project? Templates files are located for each package, in the debian directory. Their name is either templates aloneor package.templates. For some packages, templates are generated on the fly, and the file to be proofread is templates-in (or something similar). There are a lot of packages in d-i, so a good order has to be chosen. I suggest you to use the same order than suggested to translators. Please refer to the file doc/translations.txt for getting it. Again, if you need more information on how to get the files, feel free to ask. When you have at least one file ready for proofreading, then go for it, correct it with a text editor, then (at least for the first ones) repost it there (if possible with a diff). For the first files, this will allow us to share points of view about some user input choices.

Install Report - Failure to detect SCSI Adaptec AIC-7892a
Hi- I have been testing the daily builds almost every weekday since at least december, so far progress has continued to the point where i can get almost all the way through the installer :) However in the past few days the installer has failed to detect the scsi card in my machine, which seems to be a big step backwards. It's a Dell PowerApp Web 100 1U server. The installer stops on the 'Partition Hard Disk' step, and won't go any further. I have checked dmesg and the usual lines where it picks up on the scsi controller are gone. I think this might have something to do with the new kernel. Previous attempts at installation got past this point, but they were .22 kernels. Now, uname says it's 2.4.24 . Erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Configure Network HW: I have a D-Link DE-220 ISA Card. The address/irq is 0x300, 11. The detection failed (its not a PNP card). Choosing the module 'ne' also failed, because it did not prompt me to enter the io port and irq. I was able to get the card to work by using insmod with the correct io/irq from the command line. Load installer modules: Some of the mirrors listed (I tried 2 in canada) don't have the installer files. (At least thats whats returned in the error message) While downloading files from the mirror, suddenly the installer quits to a console screen with the message Terminated repeating over and again once every few seconds. This is as far as I got. I tried again a few times but invariably I end up with this Terminated stuff. Looks like I'm running out of memory. If I cat meminfo again and again between terminated messages, I can see the last free bit of memory get sucked up and then- POOF: Terminated. Hope this report helps.

Unable to install/boot debian from PowerMac G3(beige desktop) hard drive
Hello compatriots/teachers, I'm sorry to burden the list with this question since I'm fairly sure it's been asked before(judging from Google hits on the subject). But after 48 hours of trying, retrying and retrying again, I think I've reached the end of my ability to self help. I'm trying to install debian on a standard Apple PowerMac G3 desktop(233MHz, internal 4G ATA drive) and I've successfully gotten a network install to the point where it's time to make the hard drive bootable. And this is where I've failed again and again. Yes, I know that the Open Firmware with this Mac is supposed to be buggy and requires a patch. I BELIEVE I added this patch with utility from Mac OS 8.5 before blowing it(OS 8.5) away in the course of partitioning the drive. I don't intend to dual boot and am seeking to make this a Linux-only box. I can get to the OF prompt using the OPT-CMD-O-F keystroke. As it stands now, - Open Firmware is at version 2.0f1 - Linux boot is at /boot/vmlinux-2.2.20-pmac - /boot/first.b has been replaced with patched version from http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/ftp/quik-first.b-g3 according to installation instructions - quik.conf checks out correctly with correct fields and values(fyi root=/dev/hda2) Not that the last matters, since I can't even boot from OF, right? Yeah, I get the standard CAN'T OPEN whatever boot-device value I've had. And I've put in MANY, as I've trolled across the Net for possible correct values. Per a suggestion at http://mfdh.ca/apple/debian_on_oldworld_mac.html, I used the ofpath command in ash to try and determine the correct absolute hardware path. Typing, ofpath /dev/hda2 returned /pci/mac-io/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2. Using that value or its alias in OF boot-device or boot-file fields still leaves me with CAN'T OPEN... SO, besides the obvious question -- Please, all of you successful G3 debian users how do I do this?! perhaps some areas of troubleshooting would be to confirm that early OF patch? I.e., be sure that my OF has been correctly updated. How do I check for this? Pardon the long mail. Besides my gratitude, I'd be happy to take a couple helpful souls to my favorite Japanese noodle place the next time you're near Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA! Guidance is truly appreciated. -T --- Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. - Attributed to Buddha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The installer uses approx. 32 MB, installs with that much RAM have been reported to work. So the first answer is no. HOWEVER, there is a chance if you are able to create and activate a swap partition before the modules are downloaded, thus making more room available for the ram disk.

Bug#223344: debconf-set and debconf-get clear the screen

categorising installation reports
We have over 150 uncategorised installation reports now, and until they're processed, we can't really know what the worst problems are in beta 2. So I declare the next week to be installation report processing week. If you have some spare time anytime this week, process a couple of installation reports. Goal for next Friday is to process all installation reports reported in the past 30 days. If ten of us do five reports each this week, we should get within sight of this goal. So far only a few people have been working on this, so to help others get up to speed on it, I have written a document explaining the process, and the information you need to know to effectively process an installation report. I've attached it to this mail and it's also doc/installation-reports.txt in CVS. After it's been commented on here, I plan to post a larger call for help to debian-devel-announce, including a link to the document (as well as the rest of our TODO list and so on). -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#230450: FWD: Slight funny with debian installer
Package: installation-reports The following installation report was posted to debian-boot, and, according to my records, never followed up on. I am putting it in the BTS so it will not be lost. - Forwarded message from Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] - From: Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2004 17:25:45 + To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Slight funny with debian installer Hi all, I am not subscribed to the list so please copy on any replies (or wait until I read the archive:-( ) used sarge-i386-netinst-20040122 written to CD and booted from CD. Not sure if what I describe below is a bug, or intentional (to prevent overwriting of existing installations). I was re-installing debian from scratch after trying gentoo. As a result, my hard drives were already fully partitioned and with valid filesystems on them. They were hda1 32MB ext2 - (planning to overwrite for new /boot) hda2 6.7GB fat32 (win xp partition) hda3 4.3GB reiserfs (was going to overwrite this as new root) hda4 30GB LVM partition hdb1 2GB swap hdb2 14GB reiserfs (used for backup). I reached the stage were it asks me partition the drive, and I declined - so it moved on to initialising and defining the filesystems and mount points. HOWEVER, the list I was presented with only included the hdb drive - none of the partitions on hda showed up at all. (There were of course presented in the installer style rather than as /dev/hdb1 etc) The way I found to get the full list, was to manually enter a shell and use cfdisk to remove and recreate the hda1 and hda3 partitions Whilst I am pointing out issues during install, I would just like to raise one other slight problem I had. This is after being used to the previous installers (from woody) I have an LVM partion in which there are logical volumes containing my home directory and then related subdirectories. During installation I was asked to create a non root user, so obviously created me. I had been expecting a point before where I was asked to load any modules I wanted (as previous installs) so I could have loaded lvm and then perhaps have mounted my home directory in preparation for that point. (Of course it was trivial to delete the two .bash files that it had created and tidy up afterwards ) -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I also proceed to select stable for distribution type; however, I get an error saying that the installer can't get installation files from the mirror. However, if I select testing or unstable the installer proceeds to the disk partitioning phase without a problem. It would appear that stable installation has been disabled in the Beta 2 installer.

Not sure if this has anything to do with partitioning problems or not. Comments/Problems: 1. The installer first went to cfdisk. I created the partitions (1 ext3 (bootable), 1 swap), wrote the table, and selected finish. Then it went to the next screen where I am supposed to configure/mount the partitions, and instead of the list of my partitions (should have been 2), the list has 6 or 8 entries, most consisting of just one letter, like this: N N O O P P Q Q 913 MiB Anytime I select one of these list entries and hit enter it boots me out to the menu screen. At the menu screen, I am able to select auto-partition, which works fine and creates almost the same setup that I would have created anyway, so this is not a fatal problem. 2. On attempting to install the base system, it says that it is retrieving package files, then finding package sizes, then retrieving packages, validating, extracting packages. Then the screen goes blue for a bit with no menu, and comes back red saying: debootstrap exited with an error, return value 1, check the log. I hit continue and the next screen says base system failed to install into /target/, check the two debootstrap logs. I check the two logs: debootstrap.err.log is 0 bytes, and debootstrap.log has one line: ln: mawk : no such file or directory Hitting continue kicks me back out to the menu. I can attempt to install the kernel but it just tries to do the base system again and fails. When i look in /target/ there is some stuff in there, so it doesn't seem like a disk / driver problem.

Not sure if this has anything to do with partitioning problems or not. Comments/Problems: (note - #1 is verbatim copied from my previous report, everything is the same, i have included it here for completeness only) 1. The installer first went to cfdisk. I created the partitions (1 ext3 (bootable), 1 swap), wrote the table, and selected finish. Then it went to the next screen where I am supposed to configure/mount the partitions, and instead of the list of my partitions (should have been 2), the list has 6 or 8 entries, most consisting of just one letter, like this: N N O O P P Q Q 913 MiB Anytime I select one of these list entries and hit enter it boots me out to the menu screen. At the menu screen, I am able to select auto-partition, which works fine and creates almost the same setup that I would have created anyway, so this is not a fatal problem. 2. Everything seems to install fine excepting the kernel. The red screen comes up and says that the kernel failed. I hit alt-f3 to see what dpkg reports, and find the following: /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: constituant device /dev/cciss/disc0/part1 does not exist failed to create initrd image. I believe that device to be my raid device. When I look at it, ala: ls -l /dev/cciss/disc0 it lists this: brw--- 1 root root 104, 0 disc brw--- 1 root root 104, 1 part1 brw--- 1 root root 104, 2 part2 brw--- 1 root root 104, 5 part5 Things that seem curious: Why is mkinitd caring about my hardware devices, doesn't it just need to see the files in /target? Why are there 3 partitions, there are only two in cfdisk (ext2, swap). Unless it counts a few megs of free space as another partition. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I am putting it in the BTS so it will not be lost. - Forwarded message from Yann Dirson [EMAIL PROTECTED] - From: Yann Dirson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2004 16:41:51 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: INSTALL REPORT with 2004-01-09 netinst, failed As I attempt to do more not-so-uncommon things (with the 2004-01-03 snapshot)... - I initially have a HD with a single ext3 partition + swap (from a previous RH install). If I repartition by deleting the ext3 and repartitionning that space in 2, on the partition setup screen I notice the 1st partition is already listed as ext3, and the 2nd not. Then I realize it comes from the previous (RH) install. I had not realized that when just selecting a single partition, when I thought ext3 was just a default. Now if my original single-partition-over-RH had gone throught the reboot stage, I may surely have ended up with a strange install. And indeed the nc binary I had noticed, as well as the __libc_stack_end issues probably derive from that. - Maybe the partition-setup screen could emphasize this issue ? - How about forcing system partitions (/, /usr(/*)?, /var(/*)?) to be formatted, or at least require confirmation ? - Is it really a good idea to use those programs just installed before rebooting ? - Now when I decide to split the existing partition in 2, but do not realize I must explicitely select format as ext3, since my partition already appears as having ext3 selected (I thought), and go on, I'm brought back to the main menu on the next step, and requesting to install the base system brings me back there again almost instantly. Only by looking at syslog I finally notice a read beyond end of device attempt, which finally enlighten me on what's going on. - the user should be notified of such errors by an error box. - What about forcing the user to reformat such partitions, which we can decide must be invalid because they just reuse an existing block ? Or, probably better, when destroying a partition, we (cfdisk ?) could ask the user whether to nuke the 1st sectors, to avoid further misdetection. - Once base packages are unpacked, while setting up lilo, I'm now presented with a textbox containing the devfs name for the disk. If I want to install lilo in another location, it looks like I have to know the devfs path, whereas in the old installer I could choose in a list, which is much more suited to people not knowing devfs BTW, is it wise at all to use devfs, which is tagged as OBSOLETE in 2.6 !? - Selecting French as the keyboard layout after reboot, I do not have time to see the keymap name, and subsequent error message, before the next dialog screen. And I end up with a querty-looking layout. Looking at base-config.log, it appears that the selected layout is mac-usb-fr (!). That reminds me of a long-gone issue in console-tools debconf settings. Is it possible that some old config-scripts/templates are kept around ? Just after that, I get KDGKBENT at index 128 in table 8: invalid argument, failed to dump keymap and not loading keymap messages, which may explain why I still have a qwerty layout. In the meantime, I was asked to enter the root password... and did that using the qwerty layout, which is sure to give me an unretrievable password when I change back to the correct layout (ie. fr-pc). If then I attempt to loadkeys fr-pc it works fine, but if I install-keymap fr-pc I get the same error messages. - When asked to select (again) an http mirror for downloading packages, 1) my previous selection is not the default, maybe because of 2) the country names being listed in english, despite all other text being correctly in french. However, the proxy information was correctly memorized.

Problem: --- The problem occured after partitioning the disk and choosing Finish: The install process just hung. Watching kernel messages on ALT+F3 (I think), it said the following: Using /lib/modules//jbd.o Using /lib/modules//ext3.o Using /lib/modules//reiserfs.o Using /lib/modules//jfs.o insmod: xfs.o: no module by that name found modprobe: failed to load module xfs Checking /lib/modules/.../, I couldn't find xfs.o by hand either. Pressing CTRL+C resulted in nothing once and in a Kernel Ooops twice. 2. Problem (general Linux-Problem!?): - The VIA-Rhine-II NIC (onboard) is not properly supported by the kernel. Though it is recognized and the module is loaded, the NIC doesn't work (no DHCP, etc.). As I had the same problems with the Mandrake 9.2 install CD, I think it's just a Linux kernel problem, so nothing directly related to d-i. 3. HCI: - Configure the Network should IMHO show the kernel-module assigned to the available NICs listed. This way it would be possible to distinguish between 2 different NICs (such as is the case in my machine: Via Rhine and Realtek). Currently, it only says eth0 and eth1, one has to guess here ... 4. HCI: - In case of DHCP-failure, it would be great if one could go back to the NIC-menu without having to go through the manual network-settings and finally have a - for an unexperienced user probably quite overwhelming - menu of all possibly d-i steps.

I'm hoping (perhaps against hope?) to find an installer that'll accept my Intel D865PERL board with a SATA drive; this one hangs at the 80% mark while the installer is loading the ide-detect module. If I put the BIOS in Legacy mode where the SATA interface just looks like legacy IDE the installer passes this point just fine; however, I have the SATA drive plus 3 regular ATA devices so I really don't want to install in Legacy mode and have to cut out one of the regular IDE ports. Is there any chance that SATA support will be built into your installer any time soon?

Before the first screen where formatting choices are offered (this screen gets looped back to), there should be an informational screen saying that it's time to do some formatting, and that one needs at least one partition, for the root filesystem (recommending type ext3 for beginners), and one swap partition (recommending it being about twice a large in size as the amount of RAM that is available, and show calculated ram size * 2). Then explain a loop will be entered for formatting as many partitions as needed, then choose exit to move onto the next step of installation. 2) When it was time to get the apt sources, the cyclical nature is confusing, it's not differentiated which repositories it's trying to go get, eg. non-US, main, contrib, etc. So one doesn't know if it's looping, getting the same info, or if one needs to keep trying so as to get more sources. 3) I'm also disappointed that the stock kernel did not have CD burner support. (ide-scsi emulation, etc) 4) A checklist-based list of installation activities should be presented right from the start so the user knows what's in store and is less confused. During the first few steps of the install, there is no choice in steps, like choosing a hostname, etc. This lack of choice continues up to the point where the base is to be installed. It's wierd to be dumped out into the middle of a menu of options after that. Perhaps the menu of options should be run through right from the start to stay consistent. A checkbox showing completion could be displayed for each step that's been completed, and/or bolding of text so users don't get intimidated by the choices, they could go doen the choices one by one. Also, before starting at the beginning of this menu, a screen explaining how the menu should be done from top to bottom, perhaps occasionally skipping items, should be presented to furtherly minimize confusion. 5) I went through the install once, then a bit later needed to re-LILO again, so I went through the

So I declare the next week to be installation report processing week. If you have some spare time anytime this week, process a couple of installation reports. Goal for next Friday is to process all installation reports reported in the past 30 days. If ten of us do five reports each this week, we should get within sight of this goal. So far only a few people have been working on this, so to help others get up to speed on it, I have written a document explaining the process, and the information you need to know to effectively process an installation report. I've attached it to this mail and it's also doc/installation-reports.txt in CVS. After it's been commented on here, I plan to post a larger call for help to debian-devel-announce, including a link to the document (as well as the rest of our TODO list and so on). Unsuprisingly, I forgot the attachment... -- see shy jo Dealing with d-i installation reports = Debian-Installer has a large number of installation reports in the BTS. These are very valuable to us, since they're our only way of knowing how well d-i is doing on widely varied hardware, operated by users who are not intimatly familiar with d-i. But after each beta release of the installer, we get more installation reports than our limited manpower can easily deal with. This document is aimed at getting a Debian developer who is not familiar with d-i up to the point where you can help us process and categorise our install reports. Along the way, you should learn a lot more about d-i. It would be a good idea to go check out our web site (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer), read the INSTALLATION-HOWTO, and do a test install to a spare swap partition or machine, to get a feel for what d-i looks like, and what a user sees before filing an installation report. You might want to file your own installation report summarising your experiences, too. The BTS --- All of our install reports should be under the installation-reports pseudo-package in the BTS, although sometimes they are miscategorised in other places (like under installation). As with any report, the users often get the severity wrong; just because d-i breaks on their machine does not really warrent a grave severity installation report. The more current, interesting, and easier to deal with reports are at the end of the list of normal severity reports. As you head back in time to the beginning of the list, the versions of the installer become progressively more broken, and our memories of the old bugs fainter. The process of categorising an installation report is mainly one of reading over the report, and identifying problems, and working out what part of the installer is responsible for the problem, and cloning off a bug report to be reassigned to that installer component. The goal is to make sure the right people see the report, and make sure that no useful information is disregarded or lost. Processing a sample report -- Let's look at a sample installation report, bug #230396. This walkthrough is provided as an example of how someone knoweledgable about the parts of d-i and how they interact would process this report. Later sections of this document will try to fill in the gaps you'll need to be able to do the same. The first thing to take note of is the version of the installer, and the media used to install and basic description of the machine. Without this info, many install reports will be useless, so if you find an install report without that basic info, or that is too vague about it, you may need to write the reporter to get more info, and tag it moreinfo in the meantime. The summary of it is a little way down: Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked:[O] Configure network HW: [E] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [E] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems:[ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system:[ ] Install boot loader:[ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Well this install didn't go very well, they had problems and failed to install. Looking in the Comments/Problems section, we see: I have a D-Link DE-220 ISA Card. The address/irq is 0x300, 11. The detection failed (its not a PNP card). Choosing the module 'ne' also failed, because it did not prompt me to enter the io port and irq. I was able to get the card to work by using insmod with the correct io/irq from the command line. That explains the first E in the list. The part of the installer that is responsible for configuring network hardware is the ethdetect package. The problem

Thanks for your help. Suggestions for recording the image using linux are at http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-unix although the example commandline they give looks overly complicated. Instructions for doing it under Windows are there also. Cdrecord should be on the Knoppix cd (at least I seem to remember burning disks using it...) On my Windows XP box all I have to do is double click on the ISO and Easy-CD Creator starts. Under Linux I use cdrecord. The exact command line I use for it is cdrecord -v -eject dev=0,0,0 filename.iso. You can use cdrecord -scanbus to findout what device number you should be using for the dev= option. I would add to this web page that Knoppix includes hardware autodetection before optional hard disk intallation http://www.knoppix.net I would include Knoppix in the official Debian CD ( like complementary).

Each store consistently serves on average 1300 customers in a 24-hour period, giving Queench products added exposure within their market share. BREAKING NEWS: JERICHO, NEW YORK, Jan 20, 2004 (CCNMatthews) -- Queench, Inc.

BREAKING NEWS: Jan 8, 2004 -- QENC is now a full-time supplier of bottled water to the military.

BREAKING NEWS: Nov. 13, 2003 -- QENC 2003 Third Quarter Net Income Rose 76.8%. The Third Quarter Net Income ending 9/30/03 increased 76.8% from the Q2, and a 987% increase year-to-year. Net income for the 9 months ending 9/30/03 resulted in a 1274% year-to-year increase. Jim Furey of Lehman Brothers says, You want to own small stocks versus large stocks when economic growth is accelerating, which is exactly the period we're in now. QENC is a small company perfectly poised to harness the $7.6 billion bottle water segment with a high quality premium brand priced competitively. The bottled water segment is the fastest growing of the beverage market. Of the $100 billion beverage industry, bottled water is nearly $7.6 billion annually, and forecasted to grow over 50% over the next 5 years. In this bottled water segment, QENC has the best of both worlds, where unlike Aquafina and Dasani, QENC is high-end natural spring water, and unlike Evian, QENC is competitively priced. QENC's target consumer is health and beauty conscious including Gen Y, Gen X, and Baby Boomers who live a metropolitan lifestyle. QENC currently offers two fantastic product lines: Queech Natural Spring Water and the Queech Flavored Water Beverages, which are vitamin-enhanced and come in five cool new flavors: Coconut, O' Ginger, Red Raspberry, Pineapple and Lemon.

QENC bottled water is nationally distributed through SYSCO FOODS. SYSCO Foods is the largest food distributor operating 145 locations and has sales and service relationships with 420,000 customers including restaurants, healthcare and educational facilities, lodging establishments, and more. This relationship provides key access to new markets with low capital requirements. Naomi Campbell's NC CONNECT integrated marketing agency, has signed to help QENC reach national and global consumers by providing marketing and advertising that will position QENC as a major lifestyle brand in the bottled water market. 01/08/04: QENC completed inspection and approval of its plants by the US Army Veterinary Command (VETCOM). QENC's been supplying the military contract in the South and Florida and the Army has been increasing orders on a monthly basis, which will result in higher Q1 2004 revenue. 12/03/03: QENC's strategically placing new eye-catching vending machines in locations on college campuses, retail, entertainment and sports venues and convenience stores. 500 vending machines installed in initial rollout in 2003 with approx. 2,500 vending machines to be installed in a 3-year period. The beverage-vending channel is typically highly profitable. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS 7-Eleven is looking forward to adding to their inventory various sizes of Queench water products. 12/03/03: QENC is currently shipping over 54,000 cases of bottled water quarterly, with a year-to-date quarterly revenue growth rate of 19.7% QENC's NET INCOME for the Q3 ending 9/30/03 increased 76.8% from the Q2, and a 987% increase year-to-year.

I like it, and I've got some suggestion: Add a new entry to language chooser reading something like Choose this to proceed without internationalisation (LANG=C). When it is chosen, make country-chooser disappair from the menu. Make it the default (won't hurt anybody), and make the language question priority high, so you can avoid it by booting at priority critical. (nearly) Non-interactive basic installation could be made to work with just a DHCP server and no seeding. In order to implement this stuff (i may eventually try it), what about adding two return codes to the menutest script. One for disappairing from the menu (country-chooser when LANG=C). The other one would indicate that the script has send to stdout : - The menu item title to use; - Debconf substitutions variable values to be used with the main-menu template. This way, the resulting extended item titles could be translated with no pain. -- Jeremie Koenig [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
