Hi, Note that there is only one of 4 boot-floppy versions using kernel 2.4, the others use 2.2.20. Does 2.2.20 have working plip?
We likely won't be using a -pre kernel on boot-floppies, but there is still some time before woody is released for 2.4.19 to have a chance. You also have the option of changing the kernel yourself on the installation disk, please see: http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/ch-boot-floppy-techinfo.en.html#s-rescue-replace-kernel -David > Hi there! > > I have one little objection against using > kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 > for the boot-floppies. > > I wonder whether you know that the plip > (Parallel Line IP) support in the 2.4.18 is > totally broken. > > It has been fixed in 2.4.19-pre2. > (see > http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/testing/patch-2.4.19.log > ) > > So If you use 2.4.18 for boot-floppies, > you make PLIP installation impossible. > > Which is quite bad for me, since I want to do that. > > best wishes > > Kristof Csillag > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
