Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist
The images offered in the netboot directory require expert massage to be used with etherboot. The manual gives this issue only one sentence and does not explain that in order to use them, you have to use mkelf-linux (from the mknbi package) on another machine and that you have to provide the correct kernel flags, which themselves require effort to find. Since the majority of i386 systems do not have network boot PROMs installed, use of etherboot should be well documented, and there is justification for providing a pre-made nbi as well as a short recipe for constructing nbi images from custom kernel and/or initrd. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7sabbath Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
