Hi,
I'd like to take the disk partitioner UI. How should I proceed?
(I still don't have a debian account since my AM is kind of busy
and I'm at tasks & skills step)
Thanks,

I don't think so. Getting a simple serial console on our i386
beo took a lot of time... I remember that I had to configure
it myself.What's your experience?

The patch didn't apply cleanly for me. Do you have any suggestions
what might have gone wrong? I tried to apply the patch to latest
modutils debian source. What do I apply that patch to?

No need, it applies to the new one with no problems. Saving the mail

Hi there,
I'd been wrestling with an i386 box trying to boot it from the network
and I wanted to share some of my experience and certain things that puzzled
me.
Now it seems that BOOTP is kind of obsolete and DHCP is bound to replace
it sooner or later.
In linux-2.2.18 I have been perfectly una

Hi all,
Have some quick questions.
While trying to build the system I come across
needed="rootskel anna main-menu cdebconf-udeb udpkg busybox-udeb ash-udeb
kernel-image-2.4.0-di-udeb choose-mirror wget-retriever niccfg-manual netcfg-static
netkit-tiny-udeb nic-modules-2.4.0-di isa-pnp-modules-2
Another problem. Why isn't mklibs.sh included in debian-installer
module? I guess it's expected that we copy this file:
orion:boot-floppies$ find -iname '*.sh' | grep lib
./scripts/rootdisk/mklibs.sh
Couldn't we just symlink into ../../boot-floppies/scripts/rootdisk/mklibs.sh
if we want to avoid

Well, I use 2.4.1 on my second box which I do nfsroot. Perhaps specifying
nfsroot as the root device turns on autoconfig too?

Yes, bootp is a former protocol and dhcp is said to obsolete it.

pop3.
I sometimes have the feeling that too much security is breaking many
convenient features. It would be wrong to put in a program with known
vulnerabilities, but except that I don't see why you would want to
remove useful small programs.
