Looks like a subversion repository | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/debian-installer | $ cd .. | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src | $ svn checkout http://trac.64studio.com/mediastation/browser/partman-recipes/trunk partman-recipes | svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/mediastation/browser/partman-recipes/trunk' | svn: PROPFIND of '/mediastation/browser/partman-recipes/trunk': 200 OK (http://trac.64studio.com) | [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src | $ but something prevents a checkout > http://archive.64studio.com/pool/main/p/partman-recipes/ It has a _0.6.tar.gz and a _0.7_all.udeb, I took the 0.7 for further study. (Or should the 0.6 be used?) What is the idea behind 'Check if Mediastation hardware is present'? The thing I don't understand is the 'ASK=true' at line 54, because it overrules the 'ASK=true at line 49 | : if [ -e $HOME ]; then | : | : depmod | : modprobe jbd | : modprobe ext3 | : | : mkdir -p $MNT | : if mount $HOME $MNT; then |49: ASK=true | : umount $MNT | : fi | : fi | : |54:ASK=true I would try to avoid user input ( I prefer Full Automatic Installs ) and would so skip the interaction.
