Yes, looks like that was about a year ago (even if the changelog does not mention it). > > In our opinion there should be no reason why > > the _installer_ needs to be aware it's installing to a laptop or not. > > I tried to explain that in the bug report.

So, why hasn't this been a problem for debian-edu in the past year? Why does this suddenly need to happen when Lenny is about to be frozen? Also, adding a udeb is not up to Otavio as laptop-detect maintainer. Any new udeb needs to be approved by the D-I team and thus discussed on the debian-boot list. > > Any reason you cannot just chroot into /target and run laptop-detect > > there? > > Because /target is not set up, when we need it. OK, that could be a valid reason. But you've not yet explained why you need it _before_ /target is set up. > > You'll have to provide a much better/clearer use-case scenario before > > we'll allow a udeb to be reintroduced. > > I hope I did :) Not really, or at least, not yet in sufficient detail to satisfy me personally. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
