Maybe we could send out a mail to everyone who filed an install report

Hi!
I'd like to let you know that we now have netinst bootable images for hppa,
with that one, we are having 5 arches with bootable cds, that is however
only less than half of the arches we have, so we still miss a lot of them.
I'd like to thank Thorsten Sauter for his work on hppa (as well as

Hi!
After debugging busybox enough so that I could use the cvs version to

like to know the answer, so that I could continue trying to inprove boot

When installing the base packages there seems to be a problem
save off /target/etc/modutils before calling debootstrap, fix it after calling
debootstrap as it gets trampled by the modutils package.
For what I see you are not talking about modutils overwriting
/target/etc/modutils but /target/etc/modules, well, after a talk with

I guess that the declaration/debiandoc.decl file should be added to cvs or

Maybe it needs the debian-cd package or something such ?
Yes, well, the problem with this is how to make the cd bootable, for that
there are scripts on debian-cd/tools/boot/sarge/ there should be one for
ppc, once we have a working script for there and somewhere where one can
dowload ppc images
to increase the size of the ramdisk to 16M (when 32M ram is installed),
that way you can install on a system with 32M of ram.
Umm, what are the reasons so use a ramdisk of a fixed size when there is
tmpfs that does the same thing and doesn't require fixed sizes?

Right, we'll want to add help screens to syslinux for all of our images

That's it.
