Bug#168666: SPARC: TFTP installation with a BOOTP or DHCP server requires boot net:dhcp
Package: install-doc Version: install-doc 3.0.22 Chapter 5.5 of Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 For SPARC reads --- 5.5 Booting from TFTP Booting from the network requires that you have a network connection supported by the boot floppies, including either a static network address or a DHCP server, a RARP or a BOOTP server, and a TFTP server. The installation method to support TFTP booting is described in Preparing Files for TFTP Net Booting, Section 4.4. On machines with OpenBoot, simply enter the boot monitor on the machine you are installing to (see Invoking OpenBoot, Section 3.8.1), and use the command boot net. Some older OpenBoot revisions require using the device name, such as boot le(). --- In reality the command boot net works with a RARP server only. If you are using a BOOTP or DHCP server you'll get the message: Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet The command to use with a BOOTP or DHCP server is: boot net:dhcp cheers bruno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: [patch] cdebconf and i18n
Are you talking about language names? They are either ll or ll_LL. As everything will be UTF-8 encoded, there is no need to add encoding. There is probably a need to add a UTF-8 encoding something, but there probably isn't really a need. Why does it have to be char something[] when char * something will perfectly work ? regards, junichi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: [patch] cdebconf and i18n
I was thinking more of if (locale == C) question user; else get country from locale. It doesn't work, you can't get country from locale, you must always ask user to tell where he lives. Huh? They are in language_country.codeset format. ja_JP is Japan, pt_BR is Brazil. What is the problem? Moreover where does this locale come from? IMO we should at the very beginning ask a. which language to use for installation b. geographic location (a la tzselect/tzconfig) That is the right direction. Introducing different locale variable is a wrong thing to do, however. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For many reasons, CC could be different from your country code (e.g. try to set locales to sv_US or ja_US). while I think Denis means that there is no way to get this information without *asking* the user at least *once* Right.

While we are on it, why are return values of allocation routines never checked? You could add checks, or use/define xstrdup to give some useful error message. They will cause problem sometime in the future, I suspect, so fixing them whenever you notice would be a good start. regards, junichi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

And of course all Japanese people living in Canada did their own, so you can detect where they live from their locale? Come on, it does not work that way, the territory part of locales cannot be reliably used. Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I've lost my init
After installing debian 3.0 (on my second hard-drive which previously had nothing on it) I did get into the xwindows and kde bits, but couldn't find my way out and ended up closing down my computer without closing the programs first. I thought it would forgive me, just this once, but on booting next time (from the floppy, my boot copy) I get: unable to open an initial console Kernel panic: no init found Try passing init option to kernel I put the CD with the original program in and looked up rescue. After the boot command I put rescue root=/dev/hdb and get this: [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12, FAT 16, check=n, conv=b, uid=0, gid=0, umask=022, bmap] [me=0xb9, cs=23940, #f=191, fs=5450, fl=61110, ds=15675156, de=1563, data=15675282, se=223252, ts=159132728, ls=64543, rc=0, fc=4294967295] Transaction block size = 512 Kernel panic : VFS : unable to mount root fs on 03:40 Can you help me get my init back please?
