successful i386/reiserfs install
Hi, just installed debian using the i386/reiserfs (latest?) disks the testing distro, works amazingly, pretty standard hardware and dhcp, everything just worked, thanks for the great work! some minor points: 1. didn't ask for the non-us mirror, or atleast didn't spot it 2. when writing lilo, the screen got messed up. 3. asked, if i wanted to mount root with -notail, althought i had a ext2 /boot partition, this could be probably autodected. 4. still a 2.2 kernel? ok, 2.4 still has glitches, but still gives a pretty dated feeling... 5. inetd comes with the default install, and listens to obsolete services as default. unecessary security risk IMO. -- Riku Voipio|[EMAIL PROTECTED] | kirkkonummentie 33 |+358 40 8476974 --+-- 02140 Espoo| | Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The boot floppies don't use any non-us software, so what do you expect? If you wish the question after the base installation, please forward this wish to the baseconfig people. 2. when writing lilo, the screen got messed up. But in lilo's postinst, I will forward your mail to the maintainer. 3. asked, if i wanted to mount root with -notail, althought i had a ext2 /boot partition, this could be probably autodected. But /boot is still not mounted when you are mounting /, so how should the autodetection work? BTW, I guess the notail option is no longer needed with the recent formats of ReiserFS. But ReiserFS developers don't care much about compatibility, IMHO, so better keep using notail. 4. still a 2.2 kernel? ok, 2.4 still has glitches, but still gives a pretty dated feeling... Woody will become Stable. And 2.4.x has still a long way to go to become really stable. The only real disadvantage of linux-2.2.x are missing ethernet drivers, and this may be improved if Herbert Xu would use my patch package. 5. inetd comes with the default install, and listens to obsolete services as default. unecessary security risk IMO.

For these systems I'd like to avoid selecting a keymap during install. I can do that at the moment, but the installer keeps prompting for keyboard config at each step. A nice simple solution is to just offer the keyboard config once, and then if the user hits cancel, don't offer again. In the second stage install you will then be offerred keyboard config again, and you can select to keep the kernel keytable. Diff below. What do people think? I can commit it no-one objects, or I can make it #if #cpu(hppa). Longer term, we can get a keymap in to console-data, get the b-f build to pull it in, etc. Sorry I never responded to this. Wouldn't it be better to do one or more of the following: - if no keymaps are available, skip this step - add another keymap option (not generally the default), don't use a keymap, which would suppress this step? I committed my simple fix July 12th btw. Your first option wouldn't help as we do have keymaps that work with systems with ps2 keyboards. Your second suggestion is fine, but to do it right we should probably record the selection and avoid prompting again during second stage install.

Re: Problem during installation
Title: Re: Problem during installation Hi, I had chosen Debian as my new OSbut I cant install it...I have a problem in the step of ``Instalar el núcleo del sistema operativo y los módulos'' (i think is Install OS Kernel and packages) well, the thing is that when I put the CD nº1 it asks for the rescue floppy (¿?)and if I put CD nº2 it ask for a filr rescue.bin,when i manually select the location of file, it turns be be nothing in there... Well, more details of the situation are: HD is the secondary master of 3.2Gb with a linux native partition of 2.5Gb and a swap one of 700Mb, and I boot the system fron the CD nº1... Please HELP ME!! (by the way, I worked for about a year in an ISP and costumers say Debian is the most efficient linux for networking...congratulations!) Martin Gonzalez Buenos Aires - Argentina [EMAIL PROTECTED] A bit more information is needed. What architecture, and what revision of CD's. Are you using Potato CDs, perhaps 2.2r3 ( which would be the latest release)? Also more people will read your email if you post in plain text, not html.
