Re: 2.4 kernel as default boot kernel on CD #1 ??

The first thing you will notice is that the bf24 flavor first asks you for your language, where the default does not. A more conservative way to get the language chooser going would be to put compact or idepci on the first disk. It doesn't require 2.4 as such. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(I got someone else to test it. I'm not sure what the Cho was. :-) Obviously someone is missing. :-) Well, AFAIK, the boot floppies directly include only a few (5-6) languages ... so something may be working if you get that much languages. I can't explain why the other disappeared however. For a language to show up in the menu it needs to have a definition file in dbootstrap/langs. I know that this is the problem with Finnish (see debian-i18n). The disappearance of French and so on is a bit of a mystery though. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Bug#123948: can someone test the patch?
Who creates the existing .disk/info file? I thought that was debian-cd. The new files Eduard is talking about can be done in exactly the same way, as far as I can tell. p.

If I understand correctly what we are discussing here the debian-cd package will need to 'mount -o loop' during the build to add those files. That will have to be done as root. At one point we were trying to avoid that. FWIW, -David Fri, Mar 01, 2002 at 04:08:21PM + wrote: On Fri, 2002-03-01 at 13:09, Eduard Bloch wrote: A good compromise.

Re: bug: cdimage.debian.org should warn against downloading with an ISDN connection
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Karl M. Hegbloom wr ites: Perhaps if they do not, they should. Someone should perform that labor and make it possible. I wonder if it would require an entire new flavor of images, or if it's only a matter of inserting the correct modules? I know zilch about ISDN. Internal ISDN cards need a pile of modules, plus some supporting user-space stuff. I don't think there is any hope of adding this to the woody boot-floppies at this stage in the game, but it should be possible to support it under debian-installer if someone wants to do the work. External TAs should be okay. I don't know if we ship the modules you need to use USB modems right now, but it should be easy to add them to the driver disks if not. Ethernet and serial versions ought to just work already. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
