Re: Location list proposal [was: why must Debian call Taiwan a Province of China?]

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Steve Langasek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 Please, we should be moving away from including countries at all on the
 language chooser screen.  I think the current mix of languages and
 languages+countries on the first screen is very distracting already, and
 wastes space in the menu.

Well, reducing the languagechooser screen was one of the ideas behind
countrychooser if you remember.

However, after several discussions, the current compromise was made with some
double choices :

-English (USA)
-English (Great-Britain)
-English (other countries)
.../...

This allows people with the most often used countries to choose
their country in one keystroke, while others still have the choice of
getting the locale they may want to have.

For details about how this works, readers of this thread can go back
in -boot archives for January of February 2004.

There alredy, the Chinese language needed a special treatment because
of the way the two written forms are coded : zh-CN and zh_TW.which
uses a country information for indicating the differences between the
two written form of the language.

So, I think that languagechooser will stay with this quite long list
and some multi-country languages like English, Spanish, French,
German having a special treatment, adding up to 4 entries to the list
(there shouldn't be more than 4 entries--3 major countries and an
other entry).

This is not ideal, but this may allow us solving the TW issue at least
partially.

I wait for the input of taiwanese people about this proposal.

Re: why must Debian call Taiwan a Province of China?

[Christian Perrier]

(as Joey Hess already asked several times, please stop crossposting
this thread)

Quoting Julian Mehnle ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 But that's the point!  The name is objectionable from a technical
 perspective: it's unnecessarily long and bulky.  We are not writing
 Germany (Federal Republic of), so why write Taiwan (Province of
 China)?  Just because some piece of paper says it?

Because a *standard* says it. When it comes to technical things, no
one ever thinks about deriving the standards because (s)he doesn't
like them. You'd better try to change the standard and I know this is
what most Debian Developers will try to do.and, meanwhile, they
will apply it, just for keeping what we always claim to be one of Free
Software strengths : commitment to standards.

Germany is not called Germany, Federal Republic of because ISO did
not choose this for the *short* name of the country, in agreement with
the German representative at ISO, which is the German National
Standards Organisation.

ISO-3166-1, which is the one we use, is a list of *short*
names. ISO-3166-2 is a list of long, official country names. 

However, some countries have explicitely asked ISO to use some kind of
longer name for their entry, even in the short list.

This is why you have Lybian, Arab Jimahiriya, Tanzania, Republic
of and so on in the ISO-3166 list. And this is why the iso-codes
package has the same.We are NOT in position to decide whether this
is Good or Bad. This is just like that.

So, there is NO ISSUE for all these countries.

There is an issue for TW. Because it is obvious that the Taiwan
country DID NOT choose themselves the name which is currently in
ISO-3166 list. This is maybe also an issue for MK, by the way.

Solutions have been proposed and will be implemented for avoiding this
while keeping the reference list compliant with the standard (until
the standard is changed, which is The Way to go).

Please refer to recent posts to -boot for that.

Re: [i18n] String Changes in iso-codes

[Christian Perrier]

(just keeping you and Anthony in CCand I'm not sure that's needed
as we all seem to read -boot)

Quoting Steve Langasek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 Assuming we fix the problems regarding the translation of
 languagechooser's short list, would it be possible to provide selective
 English translations of the iso-codes table?  This would let us fix the
 expansion of TW without having to abandon the use of the (very handy)
 iso 3166 table.

Well, no that would not be solve the issue unless we find a way to
translate the short list shown by countrychooser.

For everyone's information:

After choosing some languages in languagechooser, users are presented
with a second screen. This screen shows all countries for with a
SUPPORTED locale exists for this given language.

For instance, when choosing Espanol (otros paises), you're propmted
with a list a all countries for which a es_XX valid locale exists.

This list is built on the fly by countrychooser postinst
script. Currently, no way to use translations at all exists.

So, the trick you propose, by having a en.po file for iso_3166,
wouldn't work.

As I already wrote, translation this built on-the-fly list is far
from being trivial but probably can be done by a good programmer.

The translation of country names *are* there, in the
/var/lib/dpkg/info/coutrychooser.templates. The trick is getting them
one by one and building the short list with them.

Interesting challenge, indeed.

Having this countrychooser short list translated would then allow the
zh_TW translator to use whatever translation he wants for the TW
entry. 

This may be done, but we just need someone to do it..:-)

The languagechooser trick I propose elsewhere in this crazy thread may
also help solving this. I will answer there as you raised
objections..:-)

No idea, but i don't have access to hardware to test.

That said, since miboot is replacing this System file, it only displaces
the problem, i believe.

 Ah, that would be very good because I've had installations fail at least once 
 because a local mirror was in the middle of updating and already had the new 
 Packages file, but not all the packages :-(
 (I still don't understand why they insist on synchronizing during daytime.)

Unfortunatly, it won't help with the longer download done by
debootstrap. But I'll have it done for anna by tomorrow sometime, just

Nope won't work. Darwin uses an openfirmware based boot loader (like
yaboot) which installs patches for those oldworld models it supports.
Will not work on non Darwin supported stuff though.

Bug#242689: Bug background

[Christian Perrier]

The reported problem happens when the master list of mirrors has some
new countries added.

The new country codes are added to the Choices list and all
translators need updating their translations.

We need to change this.

The country names translations are to be taken from the iso-codes
package at build time in a similar way to current countrychooser build
system.

This has to be a two step process:

-build the code list
-with the help of iso-codes, build all PO files as following:
  - from the ISO code, get the english name
  - from the english name, get the translated name

-these PO files are then merged with normal PO files

This will save a lot of work to translators and this will, as a side
effect, solve the problem reported in this BR

I'm not sure I will have time for trying to do this...and if I do,
this will be messy..:-)

 say the difference is `close to bold-versus-normal').

Okay.  Perhaps the sample I looked at was not truly characteristic.

 [One easy way to see an example if you use emacs is to view the `hello'

Bug#242718: d-i: Can't finish installation after power outage

[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Package: installation-reports
Severity: Normal

Hi!

These days, I tried to install a P2 based PC with the ~100 MB CDROM
image. Installation was okay mostly, but I ripped the power cord...

Powering up the box again, I was taken back to base-config (which is
okay) and asked for a working sources.list. sources.list *is* okay, but
base-config things it isn't, because apt-get or dpkg refuse to work,
which base-config interprets as a broken sources.list.

In my case, this wasn't the expected case: The error reported is that
I should re-run dpkg --configure -a manually, which I'd normally
simply do. But unfortunately, VCs aren't yet available, nor is there a
way to choose Execute a Shell somewhere...

Rebooting again, I tried to additionally supply rw init=/bin/sh to
grub's kernel parameters, but seems these were ignored. System booted up
as previously and I was asked to create a working sources.list ...

MfG, JBG

 For what do you intend to use it?

It'd be a handy way to get logs off my floppy-challenged boxes. I've
also needed to test the network, which is a bit challenging without even
ping. I was looking for some such tool and nc was the cheapest.

debian-installer: sarge - netboot - sparc64 Problems

[Gerald Leier]

hi folks,

first of all i would like to say that the new installer really looks nice :)

i am trying to get sarge installed on sparc64 (e250,e450) via netboot.
i used this d-i image:

 http://people.debian.org/~jbailey/d-i/sparc/daily/sparc64/netboot/boot.img



the first thing i was missing was ping when trying to guess which nic interface
is connected to what subnet. no problem with one nic and the box under your
table. big problem with 9 nics, und just console connection :)

i had some problems with partitioning (didnt manage to get rid of some
faulty sundisklabels with parted and whatever runs on [partition disk].

its also really confusing to have the items [partition disk] and
[partition a harddrive] ;) fdisk is in my opinion The tool for fast,
destructive disklabel/partition deleting and creation.
i miss this one.

dd and /dev/zero helped me with the disklabel problem.

next step i thought. hey, its capable of lvm at install :) fine, lets do it.

unortunatly there seems to be everything but the lvm modules themselfes.
also i couldnt figure out under which menupoint aditional moduleloading is
available. i thought i could find it  at [download installer comp] or [load
installer comp]. but had no luck, just ppp and some other stuff.


thats it for now
 bye folks

Bug#240575: installation-reports: Fails to boot on Alpha

 I've configured my CD ROM as a slave drive on the IDE bus, and it still

The one about changing CDROMs worked fine.
I first tried my Potato! CD-Rs because I know they work with that
computer because that's how I built it in the first place.

The got to aboot but then couldn't find the image.

I replaced the CDROM, d-i booted fine.  So as far as this particular
bug is concerned you can close it or do whatever is you want with it.

I'll have a chat to you on irc about the non-use of BSD disklabels.
I could only get to the partitioning part, but it is not really d-i's
fault.

Debian Installer team seeking for translators : Serbian (sr), Croatian (hr), Hindi (hi), others

[Christian Perrier]

(reply set to -boot mailing list...feel free to forward this
everywhere you may think appropriateas long as you point people
back to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

We need YOU! :-)

The Debian Installer currently supports 38 languages including
English (26 100% translated in beta3 and 12 under work or completed
since beta3 release). See list at the end of this mail.

The list grew up partly because of some DD or other contributors
giving enough interest for their own language and partly because some
of us tried to find resources for doing translation work in some other
important languages.

Important here means that these languages have a wide population in
the worldor that they are used in places where Open Source
operating systems have a good development currently or in the
futureor that they're important enough for someone somewhere
caring for having the Debian installation system transalted to it.

In this mail subject, I mentioned a few languages which I'm pretty
sure at least some Debian developers or users are native speakers.

A lot other languages are a good target however. Let's give a list:

-Serbian
-Croatian
-Latvian
-Estonian
-Belarussian
-Moldavian
-Icelandic

(with these, we would cover whole Europe, I think)

-Hindi (or whatever people from India will feel most appropriate
besides English)

-Afrikaans (some contact by DPL and myself, but no news since then)
 or Xhosa

-Vietnamese
-Thai
-Farsi (often called Persian)


And this is no limitation, of course !

If you happen to have some skills in one of these languages and some
free time to share with the Debian community, feel free to contact
either myself privately, or the debian-boot mailing list.

Bug squashing and d-i hacking in Munich, April 17/18th

[Michael Banck]

[CC'd -boot and -qa to make them aware of this. Please drop them from
the CC unless it's on topic on the respective list]

In parallel to the next Debian-wide IRC BSP[1], a real-life hacking
meeting will take place in Munich on the weekend of April 17/18th. 

Targets:


The focus of the event is twofold and matches the current requirements
for a Sarge release:

1) During the Bug-Squashing Party, as many release critical bugs as
possible shall be closed.

The BSP coordinator Frank Lichtenheld will be attending the meeting, as
well as (probably) Debian QA member Andreas Barth.

2) Work to get the debian-installer closer to being ready for Sarge will
be carried out.

Currently, the planned focus of the debian-installer work is the PowerPC
port, as a lot of hardware is available on-site and the powerpc d-i
kernel maintainers Jens Schmalzing and (probably) Sven Luther will
attend. Also, getting d-i working on Linux-2.6 is considered to be
important and will probably be tackled as well.

Attendance:
===

In addition to the local Debian crowd, we invite other Debian people
from south germany or northern austria to join us in Munich. So far,
Norbert Tretkowski, Frank Lichtenheld and Sven Luther are planning to
come. Please let us know if you want to attend the meeting, so we can
plan ahead a bit. If you want to come but are not able to cover your
travel expenses, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will see what we can do. 

We explicitly encourage d-i hackers and QA people to consider joining
us.

Location:
=

The meeting will take place at the faculty of mathematics at the
Ludwigs-Maximilians-University, Munich. The building is located in
Theresienstrasse 39 in the very center of Munich, about 10 minutes by
foot (or one subway station) from the central station.

How to get there:
=

By car: Finding a parking spot is not easy in the city center, so
beware. The location is next to the Old Pinakoteque and the Pinakoteque
of Modern Arts, slightly north of the central station and the
Karlsplatz.

By Train: After arriving at the central station, either take the U2
(direction Feldmoching), exit at 'Theresienstrasse' (two stops) and
follow the signs to the Pinakoteques/'Museum Reich der Kristalle' (the
meeting is in the same building as the latter) or just turn left when
leaving the central station through the main entrance and walk along
Luisenstrasse and turn right into Theresienstrasse after about 500 m.

We will put up sign guiding to the exact location of the meeting inside
of the building.

Accomodation:
=

People from outside of Munich are invited to sleep at Michael Banck's
place, which is one block away from the location of the meeting. There
should be enough place for everybody who wants to come, but you should
bring sleeping bags or bedrolls with you, as no beds are avaiable there.
However, a shower and toilets are present of course.

Equipment:
==

Network connection is excellent. Further, the full ftp.debian.org mirror
ftp.leo.org is inside of the Münchner Wissenschaftsnetz. WLAN will
probably be available, too, but this is still being worked on.

For people without their own hardware, computers will be available for
them to hack on for the time of the meeting.

Credits:


Thanks to Jens Schmalzing for providing the location of the meeting and
to the DPL for making sure Sven and Frank (so far) are able to attend.


hope to see you there,

Michael

 It is not dangerous, but it won/t work properly.  Partman-palo (and
 partman-lvm) contained some hacks that are not necessary with the new
 version of partman.  However I haven't updated fully the code of
 partman-palo yet.I will look at partman-newworld after a few days.

Thanks; I appreciate it.

 I suppose that only one partition needs to be yaboot
 partition. However the Mac disk label supports more than one partition
 with bootable flag set.  How the bootable flag is supposed to be used?
 Probably every operating system has to have one partition with
 bootable flag set?

I don't think so. My Mac OS X partition, for instance, doesn't have the
boot flag set, yet it boots. In the absence of yaboot, I would imagine
it boots by means of the proper boot-device setting in OpenFirmware
NVRAM. I think it's adequate for only the yaboot partition to have the
boot flag. That said, I would definitely not want to remove the boot
flag on partitions that already have it set before partman starts.

parted looks at the state of the boot flag when deciding whether to
create an Apple_Bootstrap partition, and yabootconfig/yaboot-installer
look for such a partition when figuring out where to install the boot
loader. They then call mkofboot, which sets the boot-device variable in
NVRAM so that OpenFirmware knows where to look at the next boot.

Comments/Problems:

The install went incredibly smoothly, requiring little intervention on
my part execpt manually creating the partitions (to use ext3 and xfs)
though even this was straight forward and intuitive.

The only issue I noticed was during 'grub-install' where the process
hung for a period of ~4 minutes due to probing for the floppy drive (the
bay still had the CD-Rom in.) Perhaps putting a message indicating that
this might be a problem or allowing the option of installing grub with '--no-floppy' 
might help people who have never experienced this before (or didn't know to ALT+F4 to 
see why.)

Otherwise, fantastic job all around. Kudos!

In an install from the sparc businesscard iso I get a 'Bad archive

up a shell and tried manually using the command
wget ftp://sunsite.ualberta.ca/pub/Linux/debian/debian/dists/sarge/Release
and got back
Connecting to sunsite.ualberta.ca[129.128.5.190]:21

fine but the unstable version produces the same error message.

Hindi is good.  Bengali and Tamil also have active Linux translation

what kind of support for Indic scripts is there in d-i?  Are opentype

Comments/Problems:

Nice overall.

The only problem was that I had previously installed
Windows XP in /dev/hda1.  The grub configuration asked whether
to install in the master boot record, and warned that doing so
might prevent other OS's from booting.  So I said 'don't install
in the MBR'.

But afterwards, I couldn't boot Windows XP anyway.  I think this
is because it marked /dev/hda2 as the bootable partition.  After I
marked /dev/hda2 as non-bootable and /dev/hda1 as bootable,
Windows XP booted fine.

Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.

I had troubles when partitioning the disk during the installation using
  Debian installer (beta 3). The problem is that the default format (ext2 or
  ext3) makes the system with 5% reserved space for root, which is sometimes
  too much. Therefore, I prefer to have an option to change this value.
 
  So I tried to format the partition manually via
 mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/hda2
  and then try to remount it (by setting use existing format). The problem
  is that after exiting the partitioning section the installer complainted
  about wrong format of the partition, so I could not continue.
 
  I event tried to modified the script residing in the ram disk at that
  time, but I didn't succced. Is there an (relatively) easy way how to
  override the default 5% reserved space ? If not, I would suggest to
  include such an option into the HDD partitioning section.

 Currently the best way is probably to install with the defaults, and
 then use tune2fs -m on the running system to tweak the values.

Hello,
  thanks for the answer, I tried to apply your suggestion but it does not
work. Although the command tune2fs -m 1 /dev/hdX reports only 1% will be
reserved, the subsequent tune2fs -l /dev/hdX still reports 5% reserved
(even after reboot for the root partition). Also, when I did df before
and after, no change. I tried the same for the ohter partitions (/home,
/scratch), the same results. But if I re-format them (mke2fs -j -m 1
/dev/hdX), then tune2fs -l reports the correct reserved block amount and
also df displays more space on the disk.

So the question is: what does the tune2fs -m really do ???

 I have forwarded your mail to our bug tracking system as a wishlist bug
 report, perhaps we can add something to allow tweaking of these values
 in the installer.

Thanks, this would be nice.

Best regards

MCP750 Installation

[lnxnut]

I am trying to use sid or sarge to perform the installation on my MCP750 
computer.

I have tried the installation docs that come with it, and have found no set 
instructions for the installation of a PREP-boot machine.

Is there one doc that I can access for this information?

I have tried installing woody, but found issues with that.  When I used Eric 
Vallette's bootfull.bin I was able to get all the way to the point that I am 
trying to install (and find) the base2_2.tgz file for the install. I could not 
get it to a) download the basedebs.tar from http.us.debian.org and/or b) use the 
base2_2.tgz from my NFS/tftpboot/http server.


My current issue is that when I try to use sid/sarge, I do not know the 
procedure to get a .bin file if I need one I have the vmlinux and the 
initrd, I just d not know how to get the point of installation

If someone can send a link to some docs to help that would be great

Thank you,

[PATCH] PCMCIA network cards + Cardbus

[Per Olofsson]

Hi,

I have created patches now for ddetect and netcfg which implement
Cardbus support and proper configuration of PCMCIA network
interfaces. The latter means that it doesn't create an auto entry for
PCMCIA cards but lists it in a mapping hotplug stanza. The whole
thing is implemented by a temporary hotplug agent. The module loading
part for Cardbus devices isn't very nice but I'm not sure how to do it
otherwise, and besides, we will have to do it differently for 2.6
kernels anyway.

(By the way, is anybody actively working on porting d-i to 2.6
kernels?)

Not entirely.  As Christian explained, choose-mirror should mimic

http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/beta3/
and when the installer offered me to add apt sources, I asked to add
some CDs, but it asked me to insert only _1_ CD, and then made me choose
between aptitude, dselect and the other ones, without giving the
possibility to insetr a second and third CD ...
Older versions of the installer used to offer that possibility.

Scripted Installations

[russh347]

Is there a way to script responses to the standard debian-installer without rebuilding 
it?

We are building up a distribution on CD to go with a distribute embedded system.  The 
hardware is fairly well locked down and we don't need a lot of options.

Thanks. Already figured out :)

However, here's additional (important) information. When I was asked
about keyboard layout, I choosed German (no dead keys). However, later
on it seems mac-usb-latin1 (or something similar, don't remember exact

d-i oldworld mac: floppies fail on 4400/200 and 7200/75

[Malte Cornils]

Hi.

I reported recently on my failure to use the d-i floppies for the 4400/200. I 
tested the current (04/06/2004) bootfloppies on that machine and an 7200/75 
(redundancy in floppy disk drives ;-)).

On the 7200, both ofonlyboot and boot fail to display anything on the local 
console (but eject the floppy).

Is there anything I can debug this with?

I have the same problem on my 4400 now; on that machine, sprite's boot floppy 
displayed kernel boot messages (and had the problems already reported, this 
is why I tested on the 7200 with a new FDD now), but I have lost the image 
and the site doesn't host the images anymore.

Also, the two most recent autobuilt floppy images have root.img and cd/
net-drivers.img, but lack boot.img and ofonlyboot.img.

Browsing the mailing list for an explanation/warning did not yield any 
information, I might have missed it though.

Anyone have the same problems or have an idea what could be the cause/how I 
could further debug this? We also have an 8100 and an IIsi (IIRC) lying 
around I could test, too.

(No promises, but if a d-i developer wants those machines, we can probably 
spare one or two - they would have to be fetched from Karlsruhe, Germany 
though)

Bug#242776: [Successful Install] Dell Latitude CPx (650Mhz/PIII + 256MB Ram)

 The only issue I noticed was during 'grub-install' where the process
 hung for a period of ~4 minutes due to probing for the floppy drive (the
 bay still had the CD-Rom in.) Perhaps putting a message indicating that
 this might be a problem or allowing the option of installing grub with '--no-floppy' 
 might help people who have never experienced this before (or didn't know to ALT+F4 
 to see why.)
For machines that require boot from floppy, we probably can't remove
that.  However it maybe possible to add a syslinux option to flag that
there is no floppy or something of that sort.  Thanks for the note.

I was able to get past the silo boot and into the kernel with the

   Boot: linux root=/dev/rd/0 rw

But it fails when trying to mount the ramdisk, which it claims is
reiserfs.

Comments/Problems:

Partitions actually appear to be BSD disklabels, which is good.  However
they put /home on partition 3 which I thought was a no-no as they're
supposed to be like Solaris hosts where partition 3 is whole disk.
I could be wrong.

CRITIAL ERROR with installation of aboot.  It did not install because
aboot depends on aboot-base and that is not installed.  That means
the d-i failed to work. On Alpha hosts no aboot means no booting so
its really important to have it there.

timeline for beta 4

[Joey Hess]

This may seem early, but beta 4 is closer than it may appear.

1-16 april  development and porting

We're in this period now.

17-22 april string freeze; general development slowdown; porting continues

We'll need to slow down on general development (in trunk, anyway) during
this period, and begin to look at stabilising the installer. A lot of
stuff has been breaking, and making things harder for porters. Porting
will continue during this time period (might include 2.6 porting), and
porters can break the string freeze if necessary.

23 aprilupload translated udebs to archive
24 aprillast possible changes to udebs on initrds
25 aprilinitrd builds
26 aprilinitrd builds continue (slow autobuilders)
27 aprilcd building, testing
28 aprilrelease beta 4


We passed a nice milestone earlier this week, when the d-i images
autobuilt for 10 architectures. The lone failure was on powerpc, which
is due to problems with the autobuilder, not us.

We've now had recent success reports for all architectures except hppa
and s390. Arm and mipsel are notable additions. Hppa is blocked by a
libc bug (though there's a workaround), and a lack of people working on
it (right now). S390 is still blocked by parted.


Of our errata for beta 3, the following are still problems to be best of
my knowledge, and need to be fixed soon:

- hardware raid problems (probably fixed, but as of yet, unverified)
- alpha cannot install from SCSI cdrom
- ia64 netboot installs broken
- sparc CDs broken
- Arabic and Hebrew display problems (progress has been made)

Of the other possible goals for this release, these remain undone:

- use the new boot logo (needs to have the sarge version number fixed)
- a less intimidating grub install screen
- 2.6 kernel support

the lists, see TODO.

Attached is a quick and dirty patch to installer/build to support
building 2.6 netboot initrds on i386. A better technique is needed. I'm
thinking #ifdefs in the pkg-lists files. 

You'll need lowmem 0.4, or leave it off the initrd. With that fixed,
it boots to the main menu.

The next bug to fix seems to be modprobe. While /sbin/modprobe is from
module-init-tools, and there is no other on the initrd, if I run
modprobe at the command line, busybox shell seems to run the builtin
busybox modprobe anyway. /sbin/modprobe works ok. If we can't get around
this busybox behavior, then the hack of overwriting busybox's modprobe
won't work, and we'll need to either fix busybox to support 2.6 itself
(yes please!) or we'll need separate busybox udebs for 2.6 without the
modutils built into them. This prevents the installation process from
getting very far.

Oh yeah, and it's even slower in vmware than 2.4 was. :-P

 For machines that require boot from floppy, we probably can't remove
 that.  However it maybe possible to add a syslinux option to flag that
 there is no floppy or something of that sort.  Thanks for the note.

I changed grub-installer a while ago to pass --no-floppy unless the user
tells it to install grub _to_ a floppy.

Comments/Problems:

This bug report is similar to one I sent in a month or so ago...the
machine I am installing to is using an Intel Eepro10 (82595) network card.
 This is an ISA PnP device but PnP never works with linux so PnP has been
manually set to 'off' in the cards eeprom.

d-i cannot auto detect this card it seems (which is reasonable), so you
are presented with a huge list of odd names which are meant to represent
available network card modules...

...by the way, I've been using linux long enough to know most of these
modules, but surely we can make it a little easier on the newbie by
plonking descriptions of cards which commonly use a module to the right of
the module name?  Who would guess for instance that 'b44' is for a
broadcom NIC?

Anyway, I know I have to use the eepro module for this NIC, but when I
select it from the list the module fails to load, a bit more hardware
detection ensues then I'm presented with the list again.  Of course the
problem is that the module wants some parameters, in this case it wants
io=0xYYY, this can be done with an 'insmod' from TTY2, but newbies won't
know this.

I filed a bug against module 'ne' for the same problem and it appears to
have been fixed, can we do the same for eepro if the module load fails?  I
imagine almost all ISA based NIC's (even some PnP types) will fail in this
way so this bug report should possibly ripple out to all ISA NIC based
modules that will be present on the d-i media.

Best regards,
Craig

Comments/Problems:
I wanted to use the existing partition table, just reformat each partition. It seemed to take an excessive number of key presses to accomplish this. 

Also, after I painstakingly setup all the partitions to erase and use, the right partition type (same one it was already formatted at, but i needed to reselect!), and the right mountpoint, I selected the Setup LVM menu option. This worked very nicely (very simple setup, NICE!), but then the installer took  me back to the partitioner menu (with the added LVM partition) and it had forgotten all the stuff i had just entered!

But, overall *VERY* impressed with the ease of install. I did essentially the same install with the old debian installer about 7 months ago, and it was much more painful, consisting of manual LVM setup, among other issues.

 Quoting Steve Langasek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 
 Please, we should be moving away from including countries at all on the

 languages+countries on the first screen is very distracting already, and
 wastes space in the menu.
 
 Well, reducing the languagechooser screen was one of the ideas behind
 countrychooser if you remember.
 
 However, after several discussions, the current compromise was made with
 some double choices:
 
 -English (USA)
 -English (Great-Britain)
 -English (other countries)
 .../...
 
 This allows people with the most often used countries to choose
 their country in one keystroke, while others still have the choice of
 getting the locale they may want to have.
 
 For details about how this works, readers of this thread can go back
 in -boot archives for January of February 2004.
 
 There alredy, the Chinese language needed a special treatment because
 of the way the two written forms are coded: zh-CN and zh_TW.which
 uses a country information for indicating the differences between the
 two written form of the language.
I'd advise Portuguese (Brazilian) and Portuguese (Portuguese) on the
languagechooser screen as well, because they're really rather different
(they even teach them in separate classes over here), despite using only
a country code to distinguish between the two.  Maybe this is already being
done.  ;-)

 Well, no that would not be solve the issue unless we find a way to

Which is why I stipulated, assuming we fix the problems regarding the

Re: d-i oldworld mac: floppies fail on 4400/200 and 7200/75

[Rick Thomas]

Malte,

Errors like that are usually symptomatic of a dirty/dusty floppy drive.

In particular, if the boot floppy is ejected, it means that the 
firmware got an error trying to read it, or couldn't find the magic 
numbers in the magic places that it was expecting from a real-live 
Macintosh boot floppy.

Buy and use a floppy drive cleaning kit (a bottle of isopropanol 
and a floppy-like thing with a non-abrasive fibrous disk in place 
of the usual shiny oxide coated disk).  Don't be afraid to use it 
couple of times if you continue to have problems after the first 
cleaning.  You shouldn't need more than two or three cleanings, 
though.

You should clean *both* the drive you will be writing the disk on, 
and the one you will be reading it on.

Also, buy a box of new floppies.  Don't use floppys that have been 
sitting around the house for a few years.  They accumulate dust 
over time and the oxide deteriorates.

Finally, when you write the image to disk, always read it back to 
make sure you have a good copy.  If you didn't get a good copy, 
throw away that floppy disk and use a different one.

Thus:

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024
sync
cmp /dev/fd0 boot.img
Enjoy!

Rick
