You're not measuring the time taken to sync to the flash drive
either, so all you're going to be seeing is the speed of writing to

Huh, I figured the 'sync' call at the end of each test run covered
that.

Does cp accept that way since a long time?

The major win with dd onto a raw device is that you can specify the
block size. For most USB sticks, using a block size of 4MB or so is
going to be *much* faster than using the default for dd (512 bytes)
or cp (10 KB IIRC).
That seemed a little fishy to me, since none of the

Anders Lennartsson brought it to my attention that the information
about gpm in the installation guide is terribly out-of-date. I think
the following is a lot more helpful.

Do they fail when you use sudo instead of fakeroot or when you run the
complete build process as root?
The usual reason a package fails with sudo is that it assumes the
$(PWD) macro will be available, pointing to the current working
directory. sudo does not preserve

Josh,
I haven't tested the change you made to silo-installer today, yet, but
looking it over, I think the following is needed as well.
I'll see if I can test it tonight.

So it sounds like fdisk in woody created bad, non-standard Sun
disklabels. And yet, they somehow worked. Ow.
Actually, no. I investigated a bit; it seems fdisk is right and
partman (actually libparted) is wrong. I've got a patch, but it's
incomplete, and only lightly

Have you seen Bug #234291?
I've got a package at http://deb.p12n.org/ but still need to work out
the license issue I mentioned in that bug, and a few other matters of
polishing, before trying to get the package into Debian.

When I installed Debian "potato" I was not allowed to install LILO to

By "logical partition", do you mean "extended partition" or "logical

It says LILO can't be installed there, but in fact it can.
