Don't ya love talking to yourself.... After actually turning my brain on for half a minute I worked out what I'd missed on this. However, I sad to say that the Debian sparc installation process is fundamentally broken. (Stephen goes off into hyperbole....) Basic problem is the lack of support for msdos f/s in the 2.0.29 kernel as it appears in .../disks-sparc. This support is necessary as the dinstall process wants to fake mounting [rd]*1440.bin as floppy devices though a f/s loop-back. What exactly do the resue & driver disks contain & can I fake them some other way? -- Stephen --- "Normality is a statistical illusion." -- me -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
