Hmmm. I didn't realise that s390 was so limited in terms of CD booting. Is it actually worth spending much time on s390 CDs? Secondly - debian-cd doesn't make netboot images at all at the moment, that's normally down to the d-i folks. We could do it, but it's probably worth checking with them first. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. [email protected] You raise the blade, you make the change...
