I think this bug should be dealt on boot-floppies side. Shouldn't it ? Eduard Bloch told me it's a debootstrap issue (there's no need for eject in the initial installer, just in the basedebs since CD changing only happens during second stage install).

Yes, that shounds like it. I don't really like the way the amount of packages debootstrap installs is increasing, but that probably has to be done... There probably needs to be a long-sought distinction between base system and installation system regards, junichi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hmmm, floppies, if anyone was so brave as to use driver floppies; you would need eject for that. -- The way the Romans made sure their bridges worked is what we should do with software engineers.

There is a distinction between required (cf essential) and base, though. The current way we describe base isn't really great, but it's what we've got.
