This feature is the possibility to select a flavor to boot when you boot from CD1 (instead of booting from a different CD for each flavor). We have made a test image (thanks go to Chris Lawrence) : http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/ Please grab it, burn it, and try to boot on it (you can also install Debian with it if you want :-)). The same iso image is available from those sites : http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/woody-i386-1.raw http://people.debian.org/~hertzog/debian-cd/woody-isolinux.iso Note that this ISO is small enough to burn to a 5cm (3 inch) CD-R/RW, and contains enough packages to install a functional version of Debian. You can select the flavor to boot by typing one of the flavor name on the boot: prompt : idepci or linux (default) compact (with full scsi support) bf24 (installs with kernel 2.4 for machines with very recent hardware) vanilla (the old default kernel with all modules but the install lacks i18n) You can use F3 to see more information about the available flavors.

Re: Bug#142305: i386 - borders gone on vanilla flavor
#include hallo.h Richard Hirst wrote on Thu Apr 11, 2002 um 11:15:32AM: I observed this as well today. I tested the vanilla kernel, there were no borders on the first few boxes (I didn't progress as far as the driver config, so I can't confirm problems there.) Booting with linux TERM=vt102 gives you the borders. TERM=linux only seems to display borders under framebuffer/bterm now. What about adding this option to isolinux.cfg (for vanilla only)? I do not see how it would hurt, and it is better to show nice dialog boxes if someone boots the vanilla flavor. This would also help the default vanilla boot floppies, though I doubt that we will get a chance to make a new release.
