Yes, it has, but it seems that the modules are not loaded by default on 
vanilla unlike bf2.4.

Don't bother, there's no point. I'm sorry it doesn't work - but note
that the current 2.2r6 jigdo files are broken in that they do not
specify a fallback server, but at the same time they do not include
files like Contents in the template.

The easy solution would have been to append a [Servers] section to the
current files, but ATM jigdo-port doesn't support print-missing-all,
so that solution wouldn't have helped you. I've now restarted jigdo
generation, if all goes well, new jigdo files should appear on cdimage
over the next hours.

Anne, are you planning to add print-missing-all soon? It would be
useful - already, support for fallback servers is absolutely *needed*
for Attila's daily jigdo files on fsn.hu. If you don't have the time,
I could look into it, but I wouldn't be offended if you did it! ;-)

Cheers,

  Richard

Alpha CD: isomarkboot

Well, having commented that out, to see what else breaks, it seems that
isomarkboot has suffered bitrot since I last used it.

Check this out:

# mount -o loop,ro /unmirrored/test-area/alpha/woody-alpha-1.raw /cdrom
# find /cdrom/ -name bootlx
/cdrom/dists/woody/main/disks-alpha/3.0.22-2002-04-09/bootlx
# find /cdrom/ -name root.bin
/cdrom/boot/root.bin
/cdrom/dists/woody/main/disks-alpha/3.0.22-2002-04-09/images-1.44/root.bin
# umount /cdrom 
# isomarkboot /unmirrored/test-area/alpha/woody-alpha-1.raw \
dists/woody/main/disks-alpha/3.0.22-2002-04-09/bootlx   \
dists/woody/main/disks-alpha/3.0.22-2002-04-09/images-1.44/root.bin
iso: Max size:281520   Log zone size:2048
iso: First datazone:48   Root inode number 98304
dists/woody/main/disks-alpha/3.0.22-2002-04-09/bootlx: file not found

I was under the inpression that you just had to avoid symlinks, and
isomarkboot would take the paths given and look them up in the iso
image.

I seem to have had isomarkboot sitting in /usr/local/bin since Aug 2000,
and I'm afraid I've forgotten where I got it from, so perhaps I need a
later version?

Cheers, Phil.

I've disabled its generation for now because of a lack of testers.  It
would be best if you could conditionalize it like [ -d $FLOPPIES/APB ]

No, vanilla has USB support too.

Depends on your definition of a typical laptop. All should do the job.

Alpha CD/floppys: APB missing

[Philip Hands]

Hi,

While building the alpha CDs it fails when it gets to this:

  # Now the APB stuff
  mkdir -p boot1/apb
  cp -f $FLOPPIES/APB/* boot1/apb/

which is supposed to copy stuff from the .../disks-alpha/current/APB
directory (which no longer exists) to the CD.

Do I just need to comment this stuff out, or has it moved elsewhere.

Cheers, Phil.

I've installed a machine using this on a fairly generic Compaq P4 machine
and everything went okay. It sucks that my own language translation was
partial, but heck, it worked :)

Sorry not to bring bad news as requested ;)

I'm updating  - some questions:
 - bf2.4 offers ext3 and ReiserFS support, correct?
 - Is bf2.4 the only kernel with USB support?
 - Which kernel is recommended for laptops?

Cheers,

Well, debian-cd did not release afaik, so they still could set this
argument at least for the multiboot CD. Others require the change in BFs
and a new release, of course.

There is no menu. s/selection menu but will boot different
``flavors''/different kernel flavors that you can choice but will boot
only one of the different ``flavors'' (using the old compatible boot
method)/
