Actually, this seems to be a bug in the debian-cd used, i thought Colin would fix this. Well he said he did, but maybe manty need to update its cvs version of debian-cd ?

I did, a couple of days ago. As you say, debian-cd on gluck needs a cvs update of tools/boot/sarge/boot-powerpc. manty? Sorry, my fault, I thought I had updated that already, but I hadn't, I have just updated it right now, so today's build should be ok.

It's certainly smaller and sleeker. But there are still situations where a 2.6 kernel won't work, and 2.4 is still needed. (see Bug#261463: Missing drivers on powerpc 2.6 businesscard install) Would it be possible to make a 2.4-only CD available? Note 1: It still asks for the Linux floppy driver module (twice) at the Detect Network hardware phase and the Detect hardware (looking for hard disks) phase. (See Bug#261463) Note 2: Manual network configuration still doesn't work! (See Bug#261460: Non-DHCP network config step of d-i is broken) Note 3: Because this is an OldWorld machine, I use BootX. This works just fine for me... Note 4: Why is it necessary to have the partitioner Check the swap space?
