Re: Installer: 32 vs. 64 bit
If VT-x is disabled, the virtual machine will be sluggish, so if it works, it'll be a bad experience. Don't do that.

Re: Hi, I am blind
I think accessibility for the blind will help us all. For example, there are times when a sighted person might be better served with an audio interface, or an alternate visual interface. I hope to explore some of the options myself. Thanks for the pointers, Mengual.

Re: Providing official virtualisation images of Debian

In contrast to the ISOs currently I'd certainly find qemu-kvm images handy, Problem might be with the amount of space on the host used by (free space) in the images. Use qcow2 disk format. I think it's sufficient for starters to provide images for stable (they can be updated for every few point updates if needed). What virtualisation solutions should be supported? - Vmware has a significant installed base and is relevant, although proprietary - Microsoft Virtual PC is likely also needed - Citrix XenServer? Would this require the Debian project to go out and buy various bits of proprietary software to build the images with? Of course Debian should not provide images in proprietary formats any more than it distributes non-free software. Proprietary vendors should be able to convert from open formats. Of course qemu-img/kvm-img does support this per its manpage: vmdk VMware 3 and 4 compatible image format.

Re: Squeeze can't fit on 512MiB
Indeed, installling Squeeze (without any task) needs 460MiB If you want to trim that down, you should *definitely* use Emdebian where the packages themselves have this content already trimmed out. Or, for a less drastic solution, use localepurge. Losing the docs is a significant loss, you don't want to suffer that unless your machine is a really small dinky gadget. This is a part of the damage Nokia inflicted on n900 even though it would be a tiny part of that 32GB disk. ... I've had good luck installing into larger storage, like a 2GB CF, and then making a squashfs and loopmount of /usr, getting it down to a reasonable installed size 512MB, and then cloning that (with rsync or tar) into the target 512MB CF. Haven't tried that in squeeze though. Tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
