Bug#222724: cdrom mounting all inconsistent and screwey

2003-12-02 Thread Joey Hess
Package: debian-installer Version: sarge-i386-netinst.iso, 2003-11-19 Severity: normal After installing d-i and rebooting, I found that /cdrom contained a broken symlink: cdrom/cdrom0 -> //cdrom0 No idea what that is for or what creates it. /dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/cdrom/0, which will not w

Bug#222576: debconf-copydb / debconf-dumpdb are unused

2003-12-02 Thread Joey Hess
Package: cdebconf-udeb Severity: normal As far as I can tell, by grepping the whole d-i source tree, neither debconf-copydb nor debconf-dumpdb are used by any part of d-i, so they are only wasting space in this udeb. The existing code to copy the cdebconf db to the installed system uses cp. --

Bug#222630: ext2 is the wrong default for partconf/create-filesystem

2003-12-02 Thread Joey Hess
Package: partconf Severity: normal Most users will want a journaling filesystem, and ext3 would be a good choice for the default filesystem type, but the current default, ext2, is not a very good choice. I suggest to s/2/3 in the Default field of the partconf/create-filesystem template. -- System

Common debconf variables for serial console?

2003-12-02 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen
At the moment, both kbd-chooser, lilo-installer and grub-installer need to know if the installation is using a serial console. In addition, there is code to detect this in rootskel (/lib/debian-installer.d/S30term-linux) and set TERM_TYPE=serial in this case. To avoid duplicate code, I suggest u

Hi! In a few days I will be able to annonuce a ready-to-use version of the debconf-based partitioner I am making. It uses libparted and hence I need an internationalisation of the udeb-version of libparted. Some of the functions of this library return strings in English. The caller is responcib
