This isn't main-menu's responsibility; individual packages provide installer-menu-items when they're available. I think we just need to include eject-udeb in all powerpc floppy and cdrom initrds. > By the way, the CD should be ejected by the installer > before it reboots into the new system. I thought cdrom-detect did that automatically, although /target/usr/bin/eject would have to work. Maybe it should just depend on eject-udeb and do it that way. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
