Package: network-preseed Version 1.01 Actually more general (are comma separated lists allowed above? the docs (http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting) say nothing on this):
Package: Binary packages file-preseed and network-preseed from source package preseed and/or whatever system decides which binary packages get included on the root floppy initrd vs which packages get fetched by download-installer. Versions: both 1.01 (Nov 18 2004 sarge install floppy images) and 1.02 (Mar 11 2005 current source code and Mar 2 2005 "current" floppy images). network-preseed and file-preseed packages are only added to the install system by download-installer, which is run by main-menu at XB-Installer-Menu-Item: 23, but they themselves have XB-Installer-Menu-Item: 21 (network-preseed) and 14 (file-preseed), and so get sorted into the menu before download and are not executed any more. This bug is somewhat similar in nature (but not identical) to #288053. In #288053 the XB-Installer-Menu-Item numbers need correcting (run ssh config after download), while here the XB-Installer-Menu-Item numbers seem to be sensible (so that one can preseed mirrors before downloading!). So here the 2 packages network-preseed and file-preseed need to be available before downloading, i.e. come from the root floppy initrd. Cheap and nasty fix: Resequence these 2 packages to after 23 Better but possibly more involved fix: Include these 2 packages on the root floppy initrd. As they are each only 10k and their only dependency (preseed-common) is already there, this should have an acceptable space usage. -- Neil Franklin, System Programmer, Dept of Physics Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zuerich, HPR E86.1 http://www.phys.ethz.ch/~franklin/, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
