Hi, Another volunteer signing up to help debian-installer. As console-tools maintainer, I'm probably the person to help with the keyboard choice questions :-), or is that already being done? I've checked out CVS, read the docs. I haven't found any section for selecting the keyboard yet. I'm unsure from the docs - should I write a udeb (based on cdebconf) to get the keyboard choice? And if so, what should I do with the result? (in a live debian system, its stored in /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz) It looks like taking the code from boot-floppies and converting it to cdebconf and udeb is the way to start. Is this correct? -- Alastair McKinstry [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key fingerprint = 9E64 E714 8E08 81F9 F3DC 1020 FA8E 3790 9051 38F4 He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. - --Thomas Paine signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Bug#140579: i386 and tftpboot - I volunteer to test anything
Hello, as I noted from earlier messages, there's a lack of testers for i386 tftpboot. Fortunately I'm in a situation that I'm able to test tftp-booting on Intel ISP1100 hardware (they use Intel network chips with netboot support) and on off-the-shelf PCs using 3c905C cards. At least until the end of June, then I'll only have 3com based PCs available. I think this is one of the most crucial features for cluster and classroom-sized installations, because once the machines are configured correctly, it removes the necessity to be on-site for installation! The ISP1100s even have an option to switch the console to the serial port, so in case you have a remotely accessible terminal server, you can _really_ do everything remotely. Please do include tftp support in any future installation systems for i386! And please do tell me if I can be of any help. Alex -- Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
