Bug#142473: boot-floppies: a Japanese translation is too long
Package: boot-floppies Version: 3.0.22 The Japanese translation for "Install LILO in the MBR (use this if unsure)." is too long. It takes 70 columns and the dialog box becomes too wide to fit in a screen. -- "Free software is not for free."

Can we use Linux 2.4 for custom boot floppies?
Excuse me if anyone has got an answer for this question, but can we use Linux 2.4 for custom boot floppies with Woody? Or will Woody use Linux 2.4 in boot floppies by default? -- "Free software is not for free." Kaz Sasayama [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Screen Name: kazssym Hyper Linux Systems (Hypercore Software Design, Ltd.)

Re: USB-Support and keyboard driver should go into kernel image
Sorry, it should not be PC2002 but PC2001. The PC2001 design guide must have been published in 2000, and some drafts must be available since 1999. If your system is not PC2001-based and legacy emulation does not work transparently, I'm afraid it may be just a BIOS bug.

Re: USB-Support and keyboard driver should go into kernel image
Which mainboard are you using? In many cases, BIOS legacy emulation should work transparently to any OS by using SMI. If your system does not work like that, it might be a fairly new PC2002-based board. I hope you can help to improve USB keyboard support in Debian. Eduard Bloch wrote: now I got an USB keyboard and tried to use it. Bad news: even when the BIOS keyboard emulation is enabled, and the keyboard works fine in DOS, it cannot be used in Linux at all unless the device driver is loaded. This is very nasty. You cannot use an USB keyboard on BFs, not in the initrd shell. I suggest all kernel-image maintainers to enable CONFIG_USB=y CONFIG_USB_UHCI=y CONFIG_USB_OHCI=y CONFIG_USB_KBD=y CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y -- Free software is not for free.

Network (re-)setup after the first HD reboot possible?
I see the network setup in Debian is currently done while the installer is running. Is the network (re-)setup after the first HD reboot possible in Woody or later? I'd like to leave the network interfaces unconfigured until the first HD reboot so that pre-installed Debian systems can be configured properly by end users.

Re: Any support for legacy-free systems? (was: Re: Can a rescue floppy load some modules before the installer starts?)
I tried to collect information on the Web about the legacy-free systems really sold on the market. Fujitsu and Hitach appeared to sell a few legacy-free models, but most vendors seemed still conservative to such configurations. So for a short-term solution, it might be OK to just note on a install document that some new legacy-free systems won't boot well with any official Debian boot floppies while the situmation may change in one or two years. We should be able to do better with legacy-free systems when they could be more popular, shouldn't we? -- Free software is not for free.
