Is this really something we want in the installer? I'm not entirely convinced that each and every specific setup needs to be configurable from scratch in D-I. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Is this really something we want in the installer? I'm not entirely convinced that each and every specific setup needs to be configurable from scratch in D-I. I also feel like such a specialized network setup doesn't belong into the installer dialogs. The manual method should stay open, though. Not that doing a Mac failover would be useful when running the installer. -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
