woody tftpimage broken?
Hello, I am trying to install from scratch using the tftpimage in testing. It remains stuck processing whiptail (during the base installation part of the install). At that point, I can no longer switch console to see what's up. Also, it would be useful if the installer would disable ECN or at least remember the (l)user that if he gets a network unreachable one possible cause could be ECN... Now, I'm trying to install with an old potato image If you want me to do some tests ask before I'm too much ahead configuring that machine :-) Pf -- --- Pierfrancesco Caci | ik5pvx | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://gusp.dyndns.org Firenze - Italia | Office for the Complication of Otherwise Simple Affairs Linux penny 2.4.7 #1 Thu Jul 26 14:48:56 CEST 2001 i686 unknown
