Bug#339711: dhcp-client: Severely broken on sparc

Yes, the hard numbers for i386 are: i386 root floppy with dhcp-client-udeb 39k free i386 root floppy with dhcp3-client-udeb -68k free However, it is possible to move the net installation support from the root floppy to the drivers floppy, then we get plenty of space free on both even with dhcp3-client-udeb. The downside is two-floppy installs arn't supported then, which is probably not worth worrying about. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Granted, though it seems that at least two of the architectures you quoted don't support floppy installs in etch? :) But ok, that answers my question, the udeb is still too big.

I'm seeing the same problem on my Sparc Ultra10. Switching to dhcp3-client solved the issue. Removal of the package might not be such a good idea as Debian-Installer uses the dhcp-client-udeb. I've not yet checked if the udeb has the same problems on sparc. pgpj9M3nFzGdl.pgp Description: PGP signature

This bug is going to affect the udeb on sparc the same as it affects the deb. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
