boot-floppies 2.2.23
maybe i am missing something, but i built a stable chroot, apt-got boot-floppies, and am trying to build them. however, i am running into a chicken/egg problem. for i386, the kernel is 2.2.19pre17. however, there is no vanilla kernel, and if i bump it up to 2.2.19, there are no PCMCIA modules. i have no desire to build the vanilla and friends kernel/pcmcia modules. are they hiding somewhere that i am not aware of? or should i simply pull the source from the CVS server, and if so, which tag? potato? -john -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

We shouldn't... shouldn't the file should be packaged separately and used from whereever the package provides it. Where does the file come from? From the slink CD... there are a few other binaries, the quickinstall guides, and the amiga icons and booter in amiga-kit.tgz. I never wanted to put the binaries and icons into CVS, but if you want to, just feed them in. They will probably not change much in the near future, neither do the install guides, unless somebody picks it up?

Yup, I've been pulling them from the actual install disks actually. There seems to be at least some stuff in there that's packaged but not pulled from the packages (atari-bootstrap springs to mind). (I'm still slowing building disks but I keep finding something I've forgotten about or running out of disk space.

Also 2.2.23 might want to wait until 2.2.19 is in stable for m68k - it's in unstable, but I believe the fact it's not in stable is just an oversight and is to be rectified. No, we're not waiting. I don't think anyone is even working on boot-floppies from m68k for Potato, so if I had to wait I'd wait forever. Unless you're volunteering? I'm currently working on them. Or at least trying to build them (and I appear to have got Atari, Amiga, Mac vme6000 done). It's a slow process however. If so, I'd be happy to do a 2.2.24 with m68k kernel updates and fixes if needed. Ok. I'll continue working away at them and once I have them working I'll let you know and provide a patch?

I'd /really/ like to be able to do them with 2.2.19 kernels though. Currently they all have the 2.2.17 kernel from potato, except for the mac disks as there doesn't seem to be a 2.2.17 for it, so I've nabbed the 2.2.19 from unstable to check that everything else about building the disks works.
