The installer detects the minidisks and will bring them online if they are selected. The installer also allows the low-level formatting of these disks (dasdfmt) to be skipped. However, the installer does not recognize the implicit single partition which is already present on these minidisks. Therefore, there is no way to tell the installer to high-level format (mke2fs) these partitions, nor to assign a mount point to these partitions. I eventually got the system configured the way I wanted it, but I had to do the installation to Linux cdl minidisks and then manually copy everything (except the /boot partition) to CMS-formatted minidisks. The requirement to do this turns Debian into a hacker's distro again and defeats the purpose of the nice installer. Support for CMS-formatted minidisks is important because they are the only format of minidisk which works with the dasd_diag driver, which I wanted to use. (Incidentally, the default kernel image does not include the dasd_diag_mod module, which it should. I had to download the kernel source code and configure and build my own kernel to get the dasd_diag_mod module that I needed.) Another problem with the installer is that it tries to mount the partitions in the order listed on the screen instead of in the order required by the file system. For example, if one wants device 200, partition 1, to be the /boot partition and device 201, partition 1, to be the / partition, this will fail. It should try to mount / first, then /boot. Instead, it tries to mount /boot first, which fails because / is not yet mounted. Follow the tree structure, not increasing device numbers! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Bug#389430: override suite for udebs
Here's a patch that implements a slight different approach. The idea is to allow a user to specify an 'override suite' which is used as an alternate/preferred suite for udebs. The reason I chose this approach is its consistency with other aspects of our derivative distribution, namely its layered approach. We take an unmodified subset of a stable release, and pair it with additional suites that include additional packages and some packages of greater versions (e.g., backports). When we need to create a custom version of a udeb (lkdi pieces, usually), we can simply add it to the preseeded override suite and not have to make any changes to the pure-debian main/debian-installer suite. The changes are minimal, but because it wraps existing code in a loop, the extra indention inflates the size of the patch. For review purposes, I'll include the patch without indenting the inner loop[1], and also with proper indention[2].

This will very briefly display Running popcon, followed by
popularity-contest asking if you want to participate. I can envision a
user wondering if it already reported popularity-contest data once before
asking..
There's room for improvement in the progress bar stepping, since popcon
steps it 5 steps and no room is provided for other hooks to step it at
all. But I don't have an solution for this, it just makes hooks that
take a long time to run not a very good idea to put here.

Bug#389430: override suite for udebs

I think Dann's idea is to get both and validate them. Why? Apt already validates all Release files it uses. d-i can only use one Release file, and validates that one. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#389430: override suite for udebs

What's the point of doing that extra work in the first pass if the data isn't used? I want to use the udeb in the primary suite if there is no corresponding udeb in the override_suite. The override_suite only includes udebs that require customization. Does that answer your question? -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Does that answer your question? No, because I don't see how it works. Like I said, it downloads the Release and Packages files for the primary suite. Then it downloads those from the override suite, over top of them. Only the override suite Packages info is left, so how is d-i supposed to know how to find udebs from the primary suite? -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#426607: My Dear in Christ
Hello My Dear in Christ, This is the story of my life, between life and death; I prefer death because of some circumstances that I have gone through all of my life. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort where we ourselves are comforted of God. I am Jude Maxwell, my family name is Mr. and Mrs. Mathew Maxwell, and we are 12 in our family 4 boys and 8 girls. All of these started two years ago when my father was sacked from his job, and before we know what was happening, suddenly, he got illed and could not walk on his feet, so we rushed him to the hospital and the doctor confirmed that it was a partial stroke. After a month he died. My uncles came and started looking for what does not belong to them; they succeeded in throwing us out and collected all of our properties, so we relocated down to the village. After some months, my mother had a heart attack and she died, then after her death, everything turned upside down. I being the eldest, tried to control my siblings, dropped out of school, in order for my younger ones to go to school, tried looking for job, but it wasnt that easy. Barely up to a month, after our mother died, my kid brother died in a ghastly motor accident while he too was looking for a job for the betterment of the family. Even my two sisters went into prostitution and unfortunately for them, they were used for rituals and the next message I received was their corpse with their heads and breast cut off. I strongly believe in the word of God which says Fear not them which kill the body, but cannot the soul; but Fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body. Presently, I managed to be working as a cleaner in a small business center, where I get small things to keep body and soul together for my siblings. I strongly believe that there are still very good people in this world that can come for my aid, that is why Im reaching out to you with the Grace and the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. Regards, Jude Maxwell. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
