Bug#705971: debian-installer hangs when tty console in use (console-setup)
snip What do you mean by a TTY console during the installation? Lowering the severity anyway as I don't think this is a bug (if one) that affects all installs. With all the install problems reports? I would certainly expect having to open up a shell to fix things to install MORE THAN EVER. One usually one tries to provide more tools to work with for a boot / root install kit not less. but i'm not upgrading the bug report. I have no idea if anyone else can confirm or deny it it ever happened. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#669605: debootstrap can't install base-files and base-passwd
hi i'm not a DM yea but the script installs awk/mawk before any depends and it gets in reguardless. try not calling out awk as depends since that is pre-scripted (it's to get dpkg running i think) why force didn't work i'm unsure Have Fun ! -- John Adrian Ban wrote: Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.39 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software I'm trying to create a debian system and after I call: debootstrap --verbose --arch=i386 --include=quagga,linux- image-686-pae,syslinux,vim,gawk wheezy /media/jffs2 ftp://ftp.lug.ro/debian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: cdebconf 0.159
It would be nice if it didnt Conflict: with debconf (debconf-2.0) because no one needs such problems early in install. Cant it run side-by-side debconf (ie, user can theoretically run either) ?

Bug#652672: busybox: modprobe does not handle builtins
Put code in a kernel but don't want kernel params, sysctl, /proc, or /sysfs to wake it? Instead wishing modprobe will wake it ??

Bug#652672: busybox: modprobe does not handle builtins
I hate to say anything no knowing the full story. I was just installing. The initrd.gz off netinst CD does has depmod. If you use it then your ext4 module loads right? Without depmod you could edit the modules.dep et al files with nano and that should work too, if I remember correctly. I had to copy ext2.ko using dd and a floppy, no fs modules in initrd to mount even minix. deb-inst told it found no kernel in netinst which it wanted. wtf? busy box saves the day again right? i got it working.

Re: Proposal: convert all udebs to xz compression
How is alteration from .gz to .xz going to do anything but create new upgrade or boot issues? what bug number is it? - Is lzh/ma xz built already built-in (to kernel or glibs)? What if kernel or libs changes or isn't yet installed? Use bin? Won't this mean all software and scripts that look into udebs will need to be re-written? Also that udebs will no longer be compatible with dpkg as they were? Just wondering what the upgrade is? --- Bob the Toucan — Copyright © 2005, 2006 Ville Koskinen ~ liblzma doesn't include any file I/O functions. A separate I/O library is planned, which would abstract handling of .gz Below is an incomplete and somewhat vague list of operating systems most linux XZ Utils is free general-purpose data compression software with high compression ratio. XZ Utils also work on some not-so-POSIX systems. XZ Utils are the successor ~ * liblzma is a compression library with API similar to that of zlib. * xz is a command line tool with syntax similar to that of gzip. isn't that a 360 while not yet finished ?

But it doesn't gain that much. If you mean dpkg-deb, then as mentioned on the bug report -z0 will switch the compressor to none. The closer thing you can get right now is -z1. Dpkg people, can you comment on that? I've pinged people on IRC already about this bug earlier today. I'm not on IRC anymore. In any case I've been making up my mind over this and playing with some possible options and some draft code, I'll reply to the bug report when I have something more concrete. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
