Currently, the boot-floppies can't deal with a kernel which has
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y, even if CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT is not set. I tracked
this down to libfdisk not liking the devfs /proc/partitions.
I started to write a little C function which translated the names,
and this is fairly trivial for IDE.

gcj-3.0 and kaffe combined run on at least an important subset of them
(specifically alpha, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc, arm). I think it

Adam, this is ridiculous. We implicitly trust a heck of a lot of
people who aren't one of us. Have you audited all the code of all the

I think there is a race condition when we're executing debootstrap
that will lead to random errors and zombie debootstrap processes.
Could someone sanity check this patch? I haven't been able to test
it, but it looks like it should be right.

smtp is probably exim, which should be secure enough (although I
prefer Postfix personally). The others are from netkit-inetd.

Might as well fix the other things I broke while I'm in there. This
patch supersedes the previous one. Lightly tested.

My fault. I think this patch should do the trick
Ok,
This patch appears to work for me. A few things still need to be
fixed, but I'm posting this here now because it's my first patch for
b-f that is somewhat intrusive, so if I have the totally wrong
approach or anything, I'd like to know, before I finish shaking out
any bugs.
I still need to

I think that this is much clearer, and
Package: boot-floppies
Severity: normal
The (ncurses?) dialog boxes for the boot-floppies are confusing,
because unless one knows in advance that the blue item is the active
one in a "Yes/No" question, one doesn't know which choice one is
picking, especially since the default varies per question.
