2019-08-27 Thread Michael Kesper
Hi all, I was wondering whether it would be possible to add some more flexibility to the paths of Debian installer as used by e.g. netboot.tar.gz for PXE install. At the moment, it's not trivially possible to offer e.g. Debian 10 and 9 or 11 at the same time for tftpboot as paths are hardcoded as
