Nothing has been ruled out at this point, the only reason I didn't udeb it is that (and I looked at dhcp_2.0pl5-1, didn't know v3 existed, thanks): 1. it looked a lot bigger than either pump or dhcpcd 2. it didn't work for me right out of the box under Linux for me like dhcpcd did (though it did

I found that the DHCP v3 `dhclient' works much better than the `dhcpcd' does. There's a package in "project/experimental" that I've been using. I bet it will be ready for the main distro by release day anyway, so why not just use it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a su

Re: howto help testing boot floppies.

2000-12-17 Thread David Whedon
This is a good idea. I think at this point it would be premature to enlist a bunch of testers. We should probably wait until we can do a full install. Before that, maybe it would make sense to pull the hardware detection (once it is finished) out into a little application that simply named

Please cc: me. Some people have been complaining about hardware detection on on -devel lately, and someone answered you need more people to help testing. I'm sure lots of people don't have the time to follow debian-boot (I don't...). But if you could post some urls on where to grab images to tes

If the Debian Installer has not yet been nicknamed, I would like to do so. Let's call it "Insinuating Terrapin". Think of the Tortoise and the Hare, and envision a hare wearing a very special hat we are so fond of. Now picture the hare hitching a ride on the terrapin, after seeing how well

Hi, I would like to start on translating the boot floppies to Dutch. I asked around, and a few people are interested in helping. Is the potato boot floppy set a good place to start, or will the set for woody be so much different that it will be outdated very quickly? Ivo -- Pooky, y
