Even simple things like kernel upgrade or automatic fsck of filesystems could render the box unbootable if you don't have a serial console. Add encrypted root filesystem and you have to have some way to interact during the boot process. - Headless servers, for, probably, the same reasons mentioned above. At first I thought of adding something similar to pkgsel/pre-pkgsel.d/10laptop-detect for NAS devices that d-i support.

etch-n-half netboot problems
Hello! I'm using preseeding over network(PXE). Recently I've upgraded my environment to etch-n-half in order to get benefits of recent kernel packages in etch-n-half(2.6.24). I've downloaded images following the link at this page: http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/etchnhalf I've i386 initrd.gz/linux from http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/ I've amd64 initrd.gz/linux from http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/ In order to install etch I've added suite=etch to my pxelinux's APPEND option. I believe that the images I've used are latest available netboot images for etch-n-half, is this correct? The problem is that thing tries to grab lenny/Release file over network each time I install etch-n-half. And that is actually a problem since what I'm trying to do is to use either debian-40r4a-etchnhalf-amd64-netinst.iso or debian-40r4a-amd64-DVD-1.iso to provide my netboot environment with packages. I'm mounting those isos on a host machine with PXE stack and share them through Apache. But installation can't proceed because those isos actually doesn't have those dists/lenny/Release and dists/lenny/Release.gpg. I've tried installing from a regular CD using debian-40r4a-etchnhalf-amd64-netinst.iso and that doesn't seem to try to grab those files and installation can proceed without any network connections. Is there a way to fix it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: etch-n-half netboot problems
Hi Frans, The problem is that thing tries to grab lenny/Release file over network each time I install etch-n-half. It needs to load additional installer components, and those are lenny. Does that happens when etch-n-half CD (-netinst.iso) is using to install machine? And that is actually a problem since what I'm trying to do is to use either debian-40r4a-etchnhalf-amd64-netinst.iso or debian-40r4a-amd64-DVD-1.iso to provide my netboot environment with packages. That's an unsupported installation method. It can be made to work, but fixing it is up to you. Alright.

Although from another PoV they are also basically identical. It's just how you look at it. [1] has a table that shows the essential differences between images. etchnhalf is a bit more complicated because it is a cross between stable and testing.

etch-n-half netboot problems
Hello! I'm using preseeding over network(PXE). Recently I've upgraded my environment to etch-n-half in order to get benefits of recent kernel packages in etch-n-half(2.6.24). I've downloaded images following the link at this page: http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/etchnhalf I've i386 initrd.gz/linux from http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/ I've amd64 initrd.gz/linux from http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/ In order to install etch I've added suite=etch to my pxelinux's APPEND option. I believe that the images I've used are latest available netboot images for etch-n-half, is this correct? The problem is that thing tries to grab lenny/Release file over network each time I install etch-n-half. And that is actually a problem since what I'm trying to do is to use either debian-40r4a-etchnhalf-amd64-netinst.iso or debian-40r4a-amd64-DVD-1.iso to provide my netboot environment with packages. I'm mounting those isos on a host machine with PXE stack and share them through Apache. But installation can't proceed because those isos actually doesn't have those dists/lenny/Release and dists/lenny/Release.gpg. I've tried installing from a regular CD using debian-40r4a-etchnhalf-amd64-netinst.iso and that doesn't seem to try to grab those files and installation can proceed without any network connections. Is there a way to fix it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The second (unsuccessful) attempt would never get past the bsdmainutils being corrupt. The three packages were identified as faulty ONLY by the md5sum bundled within the netinst CD.
