Successfull testing Debian install using bochs 1.4.1

2002-07-09 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen
The last two days, I've been testing our Debian/Woody-based install CDs using bochs v1.4.1. This version is the first version capable of booting the isolinux multiboot CD, and to complete the installation. It is slow, but for me without a proper test machine, it is better then nothing. :-)

[Tollef Fog Heen] And this is not something for woody, so we'd better commit something like that later (even if it has no influence yet). true. Agreed. We use it on our Woody CDs, as we use debian-installer for installation, but it have no utility with the current boot-floppies

[Anthony Towns] I'm inclined to think the default should be main, and the default if the --boot-floppies argument is present should be main|local. I believe this would work just fine for our needs. If the defaults are this way we would not need to modify boot-floppies to get our packages

[Raphael Hertzog] I won't apply this patch since the eltorito multiboot solution is certainly going to be dropped... the menu it offers is not very useful compared to isolinux multiboot. I believe it is better to have bad options documented as such, instead of leaving it to the users to
