Why not? There are only advantages, so where do you see the problem? Everything that is possible to do with the old system is also possible with devfs, but devfs has some nice new features like only showing you those entries that really exists, no more need of that really braindead device-numering system etc. -- Until the next mail..., Stefan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Successful installation of woody (i386)
Hi. I just wanna say that i today installed a machine with boot-floppies 3.0.11 very successful. Thanks to everyone for your efforts. The machine is a Intel Pentium 100MHz, 2 IDE HDD (1,5 and 10 GB), Intel Triton Chipset, 3Com 905 and RTL 8029 network cards (internet access via RTL8029). I just used the 3 compact floppy images and all the rest via HTTP. I'm very impressed by the smooth installation. Thanks again. Ah, one little thing. Maybe dhcp-client should be deinstalled automatically if DHCP is not choosen during the network configuration (i said no DHCP but the dhcp-client package was left active and so every boot there is a long pause). -- Until the next mail..., Stefan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I have the impression busybox even got deleted there? Yes. I just looked in common.sh. The function download() uses apt-get to download all needed files and before downloading it cleans the download-area: $APT_GET update $APT_GET autoclean $APT_GET --download-only install $* So comment out the autoclean line and copy the .debs to $(archive)/cache/archives and everything should work fine. -- Until the next mail..., Stefan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

David Whedon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Try putting it in /build/cts/boot-floppies/updates/ make_paths searches in there and in $archive/cache/archives. Someone should also update the docs to this effect. In the woody-branch i can't see make_paths looking in /build/cts/boot-floppies/updates but only in $archive/cache/archives `pwd`/updates $local_dir The problem is: make check never uses make_paths() but only download() and download() also never uses make_paths(). But download() fails if any of the packages to download don't exist. I added a copy-loop after the apt-get autoclean in download().
