Here are some alternatives to rawrite2. I haven't used them at all (no Windows

The FDVOL, WrtDsk or RaWrite3 programs can be used under MS-DOS to copy images

This is a known limitation, and a rather troublesome one, IMHO. Someone in your
situation can't readily install Debian via floppies since ppp is not supported
on the boot disks, this is unfortunate. I may see how hard it is to hack in
some simple ppp support. I wouldn't be able to test it thoug

That is a good point. The suggestion of dynmically using the busybox help
probably doesn't treat transloations very well, unless busybox wants translated

If I understand correctly you would like to replace the kernel on the rescue

Ug, this was me, fixed. I had assumed that running lint on the docs would find
all problems, not so, it doesn't find unresolved internal references. The only
way to catch those is to build the docs, which I just did. I doubt there are

We really need to build a new version from cvs. Adam is going to tag the cvs

Whatever it is we probably shouldn't be waiting on it. Once it is tagged I'll
build a new set for i386.

I assume you are suing current cvs? I've gotten a somewhat functioning system
installed with current cvs and other have too.

s/Weldon/Whedon/ everybody does it, I don't know why :-)
Yes, I applied it. If something is missing, unfinished or messed with respect to
this patch I don't know about it.

Neat, this definately would be a good thing. The current debian-installer
project might be able to become what you are talking about. We definately have
the IU abstracted from the guts and the different functional parts are well
broken up into independant modules. I've been thinking about ways

that's the one waiting for busybox, as I'm sure you know.

I may have been too hasty in fixing the sparc build failure. (see recent cvs
activity)
After further investigation I notice that I may have broken powerpc in the
process. Not having a powerpc machine to test on I don't know if that is the
case.
I'm looking for some input.
Here's the story:

Sounds reasonable, once busybox 0.52 arrives we'll have largely functioning
boot-floppies, I believe.

I hope you are aware that the woody installer is still being developed.

There are two things that I would like to see in a new installer that I don't
see in debian-installer at the moment:
1. The ability to redo some of the installation after the system is all the way
set up. I would like to see the same utility, same user interface, that people
can use to modify an
ugg, wrong CVSROOT. I removed the files from cvs. Could someone with the
appropriate permissions remove the directory:
dwhedon@klecker:/org/cvs.debian.org/cvs/debian-boot/
drwxrwxr-x2 aph Debian 4096 May 9 12:59 image_stuff
Thanks,

It appears as though you have installed Debian GNU/Linux, or a distribution
