As a temporary workaround, I'll rename *.iso files I don't want to use to avoid selecting the wrong one… I would try to implement a solution based on giving a hint about which iso we want to use by a 'param=value' in the kernel command line (as it's usually done in Debian Live's customization system), but I don't know if this kind of behaviour is suited to debian-installer (which I don't know in depth) ? Perhaps there is a more 'regular' way to do this ? To test it, I have to learn how to build a debian-installer image with patched iso-scan, so it can take a while before I can build my patch. If I can go forward on this problem, I'll post on the debian-boot list. with regards, Fred. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
