Problem is pserver (at least cvs.debian.org's configuration) can't handle really
big files. I couldn't figure out how to fix it. For woody I removed the large
files and put them into their own package. As far as I know we can't use
pserver and potato, but woody works.

One solution is to simply re-order $(LIBBB_LIB) and $(PWD_LIB) on the command

Good point. I haven't look at how debootstrap handles this situation. In any
case the problem should be fixed with debootstrap rather than having
boot-floppies hack around it, since debootstrap is a generally useful tool.

I've just subscribed to this list. (Do we have a more appropriate list
for this topic?)
I've forwarded this to debian-boot, probably the more appropriate list.
The monolithic kernel has been successfully ported to Nubus-based
PowerMacs. I got Potato to install with the 2.4.0-test8
As long as it has been booting we've been seeing wierd things where it boots for
me and not Joey, and vice versa. Part of this is due to the fact that the code
is still in a state of flux and we always have to have at least a few local
udebs. Something I'd look into is the creation of /dev/*.
My goal is to make debian-installer create the files in /dev on boot, and I
would also like to use busybox's linuxrc-init-inittab feature because it is
clean and fairly standard. There are a couple ways we can do this, all have
drawbacks, I know this is a solved problem so I'm looking for
Here's a diff that makes method A work. This is my current favorite, the one
I'll use if I don't get objections or other ideas.

Rambling debian-installer ideas:
1. I'm thinking that it would be nice to have an 'Execute a shell' main-menu
entry. I haven't actually tried to make it, but it seems to me that the current
main-menu structure won't allow that.
Sure, people will have a shell on tty2, but I'd probably
Package: libdetect0
Version: 0.9.72-5
I've patched libdetect to create a pic library suitable for mklibs.sh rather
than making udeb.
This replaces my earlier (wrong) effort to solve this problem with
libdetect0-udeb. This saves over 100k (uncompressed) on the nic autodetect
floppy.

Marc,
The new patch worked flawlessly. I committed everything except fr.BUGS. I
wasn't sure what to do about fr.BUGS.
Thanks,

Marc,
Thanks for the patch.
Unfortunately, this patch didn't apply cleanly for me. Perhaps you run a 'cvs
update', and then make sure the diff gets directed to a file without being
corrupted. Maybe:
$ cvs update
$ cvs diff -uRN doc_patch
Thanks,
David
Here is my attempt to apply the patch,
dhclient needs CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER (or at least the docs say it
does, I haven't gotten it to work on the floppy, so ther emay be something else
lurking).
CONFIG_PACKET can be a module, should it be in it's own udeb?
CONFIG_FILTER can't be a module, or at least 'make menuconfig'
[we're talking about why I can't get rootskel to create proper /dev/ files.]
It looks like one problem is trying to run mknod (or cp -a) while not root to
create the special files in /dev. I get messages like:
ruff:rootskel$ mknod hda b 3 0
mknod: `hda': Operation not permitted
ruff:rootskel$
Currently a patch exists in the BTS, look for bugs against modutils.

I never got a chance to test rootskel. It is possible something
preliminary debian-installer is, and how much I need help for
boot-floppies.
Agreed?
Agreed, people should be directed first to boot-floppies, sorry about the
feeling of competition.
FYI, I'm hoping to have debian-installer complete (though perhaps not feature
full) for the woody release

Good news! I just used netcfg-static to bring up the network on my machine

Problems:

use that. Does
