m68k basedebs.tgz broken
Hi, it seems the current m68k basedebs.tgz (as found at) http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/debian/dists/testing/main/disks-m68k/base-images-current/ is a plain tar archive, uncompressed. (Previously, it was gzip compressed, at least the copy I have from around April last year). The installer (from 3.0.18-2001-12-21) doesn't seem to cope (there's an error flashing on the main screen but no details logged on console #3). I've extracted the archive manually now and continue faking a net install (with the debs already in place). Unless it's a simple installer-basedebs version mismatch, can we get that fixed next time? There should be a way to continue a net install that got interrupted by flaky network hardware, by the way (meaning zero length or otherwise broken .debs need to get re-fetched). As far as I recall, I had to remove the broken .deb myself to get the install to proceed further. My ethernet card would be the perfect test case for this :-) Hardware: Atari TT, 14 MB RAM, couple of SCSI disks, Lance based VME ethernet card that seems to go belly up after x amount of traffic, needing a reinit...
