Comments/Problems:
The install went quite well - no problems to speak of. It did ask me
twice about PCMCIA, but that wasn't a big deal. Did not install X, so
I have no idea if that works or not. Great job all, and I especially
appreciated the clear explanation of the boot parameter options at the
beginning of the installer.
I do have one question, though I'm not sure if this is the proper
place to ask or not:
The installer has me add locations to /etc/apt/sources.list. This
works well, and adds both a deb and a deb-src line for each mirror.
It asked if I wanted security updates, so I said yes and it added a
deb line for security. It does not, however, add a deb-src line for
security. Why not? I only ask because I don't think that it's made
particularly obvious anywhere that (as far as I can tell) you have to
have a deb-src line for security to retreive the most recent source
versions of packages that have had security updates. I didn't notice
this in the installer manual, the installer itself, the APT HOWTO, or
the man pages for sources.list or apt-get.
If I overlooked an explanation of this somewhere, I apologize. I am
just curious about the omission since I almost got bitten by this in
the past when building openssl from source. For example, on Woody
currently if you apt-get source openssl without a deb-src line for
security, you get the source for openssl_0.9.6c-2.woody.4, but if you
include that line in sources.list you get the openssl_0.9.6c-2.woody.6
source.
Thanks!
