I tried to use the first 'etch' CD as rescue boot system for a server system which went limbo. My hope was that only keyboard / mouse input was blocked and i could still ssh or telnet into it. So this is not about recovering a system on the same machine, but on a remote one. I'm talking about the stage when network is configured, but no base system is installed yet. (Before the reboot) So far the installer worked well, but i there were no ssh or telnet included. Not even ping. Maybe that's ok, for an installer on CD. However, i think it would be a nice feature to be able, once the network is established, to load additional packages from the net into RAM to be able to do any task that comes around. Yes, that would be _very_ handy. Greetings, Micha ( -- Or maybe i just didn't find the feature...?) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
