i386 build of the CVS boot-floppies as of yesterday is available at <URL:http://auric.debian.org/~aph/bf/2.2.17/>.
The target for this is Potato 2.2r1, i.e., the first point release. We would like to finalize this upload within a week or so. This is not the final 2.2.17 but I have put it up for general testing. Included is the changelog. My big concern here is that configuration modules and PCMCIA works for all flavors. I've had reports of PCMCIA not working for some flavors and configuring modules not working for compact, but we don't have confirmation of that. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> boot-floppies (2.2.17) stable unstable; urgency=low * TESTING PRE-RELEASE VERSION * Adam Di Carlo: - release-notes: fix typo (closes: Bug#68630) - fix bugs preventing some l10n'd documentation from building - temporarily disable Russian documentation, unless you have woody debiandoc-sgml - config: re-organize a bit - fix .cvsignore file (closes: Bug#68911) - fix URLs in documentation based on link checking - documentation improvements (closes: Bug#67900); change the wording of the "in progress" warning in Chapter 1 (closes: Bug#69620); correct workaround for volume manager, patch from Jim Crumley (closes: Bug#69141); fix documentation on how mkofboot is invoked * Guillaume Morin: - more dbootstrap i18n - dbootstrap floppy module pre-load support * Vincent Renardias: French updates (thank to Eric VanBuggenhaut) * Jiøí Ma¹ík <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Czech updates * Gleydson Mazioli da Silva: Portuguese updates * novdv: Russian translations * Yoshizumi Endo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Japanese updates * Risko Gergely <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hungarian updates * Marcin Owsiany <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Polish updates * Peter Karlsson: Swedish updates * Vilem Vychodil: Czech update * Tapio Lehtonen: Finnish translation thanks to Markku Verkkoniemi * Enrique Zanardi: Spanish updates * C.M.
