I checked out of the debian-installer and used the instructions on http://wiki.debian.net/DebianInstallerBuild to create a boot floppy.
When I tried to execute dpkg-buildpackage in some of the tools/ directories I get the error message "dpkg-buildpackage: unable to determine source package" The modules that dpkg-buildpackage failed for are listed at the end of this mail. I suppose I dont require some of them. Anyways I created the symlinks in build/localudebs and tried a make demo from build/ The make also gave me an error (reproduced below) --------------------------------------- Error from make: Need to download : di-utils-shell rootskel anna main-menu busybox-udeb dash-udeb kernel-image---udeb choose-mirror net-retriever ethdetect dhcp-client-udeb nic-modules---udeb nic-modules-shared---udeb modutils-basic Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... E: Couldn't find package kernel-image---udeb make: *** [net-get_udebs-stamp] Error 100 ------------------------------------------ What am I doing wrong ? Any help appreciated Thanks Hrishi kdetect aboot-installer ddetect disk-detect lmod-detect-pci niccfg parted-tiny prebaseconfig s390 yaboot-installer __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
