Re: mini-debian system via network

  I can do a big load at the boot of this mini-system, but

to realize it.
 
 What kind of technical constraints is it that you can't use a NFS exported partition?
 
 I usually find it convenient to use NFS-root.
 

 I tried it also in a development network and it works fine, but on a production 
network,
we can't let a workstation do a lot of network access on another (regular server tasks 
could
be unpleased...).

Fred.

Re: gtk frontend status report

2003-01-15 Thread Shiju p. Nair
Hi  Michael,

Am sorry for delay in replying.

Yes, I have created atk udeb. You can found related files here :

http://madhu.homelinux.org/debian/atk


This single udeb contains the shared libraries and the common files which the
runtime libraries need (this is two seperate package in debian archive). I
also avoided docs/debug stuffs. I would love to hear suggetions on this udeb.


Regards,
shiju

Bug#84230: Reinserting slang frontend in cdebconf-udeb?

2003-01-15 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen

Would it be possible to reinsert the slang frontend in cdebconf-udeb,
or perhaps make a cdebconf-slang-udeb with 'slang' the default
frontend.  This would be useful in CDROM installs where there are more
room for libraries.

Legal with '|' in udeb depends?

2003-01-15 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen

In debian-installer/doc/modules.txt, the following is mentioned:

  Disallowed Header Options
  [...]
  * `|' in dependancies.

But several packages, at least cdrom-detect and disk-detect, uses
'Depends: [...], discover-basic-udeb | discover-udeb'.  Is it legal to
use '|' in udebs, or is it forbidden?

  Here's a patch which fixes the incorrect usage of strstr for PowerPC

  non-apus PowerPC hardware.
 
 
 b) You suggest an exact opposite of the previous behaviour, and my
 judgement says that the it was right. So could you find someone to
 confirm that there was a problem and your change fix it _without_
 breaking any stuff, anywhere?

If you consider the structure following, it should be clear that this is
correct. strstr == 0 implies that non-powermacs use the keymaps_mac
choices.

| #elif #cpu (powerpc)
| if (strcmp(Arch2, apus) == 0) {
| choices = keymaps_ami;
| nchoices = nchoices_ami;
| prefix=amiga/;
| }
| else if (strstr(Arch2, PowerMac) != NULL) {
| choices = keymaps_mac;
| nchoices = nchoices_mac;
| prefix = i386/;
| } else {
| choices= keymaps;
| nchoices=sizeof(keymaps)/sizeof(struct d_choices);
| prefix=i386/;
| }

In any case, to be fully anal, I tested with and without the above
change and found that the patch works as expected, whereas the current
behavior is broken. I wonder when it crept in, because I sure don't
remember seeing this behavior.

Oh well, I'll commit the patch if there are no objections, although it
means powermac boot-floppies need to be rebuilt. Fortunately, I seem to
be able to do that at the moment.

Neither anna nor main-menu currently handles it. It's easily fixed by
using virtual packages instead (anna/main-menu could even auto-generate
such packages) but we still don't handle multiple provides gracefully
anyway... :/

 One cannot deinstall the default kernel that the system was installed with,
 because it is not listed with dpkg -l. Would be fine if the default kernel
 the installer installs on the system could be listed as a normal package
 as well.

This is a boot-floppies problem.

 To Whom It May Concern:

 I am writing in regard of Debian FAQ to the addresses that are
 mentioned in F8 function of the debian-boot disk as well as
 suggested by the debian FAQ itself.

 My concern is that it is not so obvious to find the Debian FAQ,
 and therefore I would like to suggest:

 - Add a line in the default /etc/motd that mention where
   to get the FAQs and HOWTOs (or which directory/ package).

 ...
 - End forwarded message -

 I think a pointer to /usr/share/doc/debian would be okay as well, to waste
 less screen-estate.

I don't like the idea of chaning /etc/motd for this. I think such
pointer would be much better placed in the final install screen, the
one which says have fun or something alike.
