Package: boot-floppy Severity: wishlist Installing sarge from the net-install floppies I noticed it seemed impossible to choose a custom build kernel in the stage mentioned in 6.3.3.1 of http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/i386/ch06s03.html.en It says:
--- As part of the installation, a Linux kernel will be installed. At the default priority, the installer will choose one for you that best matches your hardware. In lower priority modes, you will be able to choose from a list of available kernels. --- I had ofcourse chosen an expert install, since I'm doing this for fun. But I couldn't find a way (not even by opening a rescue terminal and editting the target/etc/apt/sources.list) to contain the source of my home-grown-kernel.deb... I think this can't be right and the function of 'officially' editting the sources.list should be inserted _before_ the picking of a boot-kernel. It would have saved me some work since the default kernel has a lot of dependencies and sets up some configurations which my kernel has not, or even conflicts with (such as a /etc/lilo.conf telling the system to use an initial RAM disk). I'm also wondering what happend to the rescue command that used to be available on the Woody installation. Why is it removed? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers sarge APT policy: (500, 'sarge') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.19-a45 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
