Bug#591749: installation-guide: Loading preseed configuration file via TFTP
Package: installation-guide Severity: normal Appendix B.2.1 covers ways to load the preseed configuration file. Bug #509723 (resolved) added the ability to load over the network via TFTP, instead of just via HTTP. This should be added to the documentation. preseed/url=tftp://host/path/to/preseed.cfg Host may be an IP address or a name (the ability for it to be a name is notable because not all TFTP clients support name resolution). This does not apply to lenny (current stable), at least for i386, but it does apply to squeeze (current testing). preseed/url might also support other schemes; I'm not sure how to check that. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

On Thursday 05 August 2010, Thibaut Girka wrote: If you're talking about user-setup, they are cleared, that the first thing I've checked (better done that checking network-console, it seems) before sending this mail. With user-setup the passwords are asked by a different (much earlier [1]) script than the one that creates the accounts and sets the passwords. So they *must* be in the debconf database for at least the time in between. The fact that they are cleared afterwards - only at the very, very end of the installation: just before the reboot - seems to me like a mostly empty gesture. At least for the attack vector you were concerned about. [1] The asking of the passwords was recently moved forward quite a bit for Squeeze. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

So they *must* be in the debconf database for at least the time in between. The fact that they are cleared afterwards - only at the very, very end of the installation: just before the reboot - seems to me like a mostly empty gesture.

RFR: documentation about floppy install (Was: Re: floppy install)
Hello all, Philip Hands p...@hands.com wrote: James, if you try that, perhaps you could write-up any issues you bump into, so that we could still offer a floppy install method, even if we no longer try to cram the latest installer onto a floppy. I'm thinking of an addition to the d-i manual to document such installation (etch release) via floppy followed by dist-upgrades to actual stable release. I want to request a rough review of the attached patch, which is only a first proposal, with several unclear paragraphs (marked with FIXME), that I need to check further. My intention of this mail: is there some interest to include something like this into the d-i manual? Frans? If not, I wouldn't waste any more time on this.

Re: Thoughts about network-console
Excerpts from Thibaut Girka's message of Mit Aug 04 07:57:46 -0400 2010: Second is quite the opposite: I would like to have a debconf boolean to display the password in the network-console/start note. The reason behind this is that, on some devices, with display and no usable input, we can (and were already doing) display network-console/start. On such devices, the password is set by a preseed file, so, showing it should be helpful to the user. I don't think there are strong security issues there, since somebody that have access to the screen probably have physical access to the device too. Making it a debconf boolean defaulting to false (and probably never displayed to the user?) should make it not be a security problem outside of the scope of the few devices with such preseeding. +1 from me for showing the password in the debconf note for preseeded passwords. Context: Thibaut requests this for his GSoC project of d-i for the Neo Freerunner. On the Freerunner d-i runs on the screen in text mode, but there is no keyboard to interact with it.
