Hi all, I am seeing references to base-config here and there in installation instructions, but find that the package no longer exists.
What kind of installation instructions? As far as I understand it (after numerous installations of all versions of Debian), "base-config" can be regarded as sort of a "formal name" for the real bare-bones initial skeleton of a filesystem dumped on the disk when you install debian. Maybe if you provide more context for what you are trying to achieve will produce more meaningful answers... Any ideas on what base-config does, or how to manually accomplish
what it does? Or perhaps I should just manually install it from a tarball, use it and then throw it away.
If you are new to debian and want to just install it then don't bother - just grab one of the installation images and follow the instructions. --P -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
