Dear members of this ammazing mailing
list,
I would like to apologize all of
us, whom i have accidentally sended my E-mails instead of send them to all
members of this mailing list. You are very supportive developers and i Am very
deeply appreciating Yours hard work, which You are investing to The Debian live
project development.
I have found The cause of my problems related to
Debian Alpha2 live GNome installation. Some crucial dependencyes for remastersys
or Grub-legacy have been changed during last three or four weeks so i will not
try to insall Debian Alpha 1 or 2 live Gnome by using Remastersys live
installer. This approach can be reliably used for Debian Leny live
Gnome.
I would like to valuably please You.
Is it possible to perform upgrade from Debian Leny
installed on a harddrive to latest Alpha release?
I tried to use sources.list from Debian Alpha and i
have tried to use apt-get dist-upgrade but i have fallen to severe dependency
issues so i had to remove corrupted installation from my harddrive.
Fortunately, Debian Leny package management system
is very smart and it offered me to install Grub-PC by using safe approach. So
grub awailable in Debian Leny installation have been let on my MBR of harddrive,
only grub.lst have been modified to try to load grub-pc. When i restarted my
machine, i must pressed Enter key tvice, so i think, that Grub-PC is having
severe issues with The geometry of Harddrive. But when i have pressed The enter
key, i could boot to my corrupted system, ofcourse without Gnome
usable.
If somebody of us would give me a piece of advice
which commands should i type to perform safe upgrade from Leny to Squeeze, i
will very deeply appreciate Yours help.
Installer included in Debian Squeeze Alpha2 can not
format my harddrive as EXT3, i have choosen The default file system type, i have
used guided partitioning, use The whole harddrive.
Is it really necessary to use Grub-PC instead of
Grub-legacy? Does many people reported severe issues while installing Debian
Leny from Jun 2010 or by installing earlyer releases of this operating
system?
I Am afraid, that development of boot loader is
very complex and Grub-legacy, eventhough it is older boot loader is existing for
many Years and i think, that The compatibility with many BIOSES and various
harddrive is much more better.
I have tried some older Linux distros which were
using Grub-legacy, i know, that this is The name of Grub package for older
relase of Grub, and i have never occurred issues with this boot
loader.
I will try to discuss my booting issues with core
developer of Grub-pc. I Am really convinced, that my harddisk is intact, because
i can install other Linux distros and Windows XP without issues and i can also
boot from harddrive.
If i could please You for somethink, try somebody
of us to install Debian Squeeze Alpha 2 release by using Remastersys-installer.
You will very probably find out, how complex is to make The target system
bootable.
I do not have other issues even with Yours
development Alpha 1 or Alpha 2 releases. Stability is perfect, multimedia
support is really outstanding and i love automatic support of The Sound blaster
Audigy SZ notebook PCMCIA sound cart.
I have been never able to use this sound cart with
other Linux distros, which are based on ALSA sound server. I have been very
deeply sad, because i thought, that this sound device can be only supported by
Pulseaudio sound server. You have demonstrated to Linux users, that ALSA is
ammazing sound server.
You have really speeded up The boot process in
Alpha 2 release, very, very well done.
And please forgive me, if i Am intruding Yours
development team with my issues.
I have spended many hours during triing to make
special remaster based on Debian Squeeze. My goal is to bring stable and
opensource solution to handicapped users. So i want to make reliable
remaster.
I have been very near to my goal, but
unfortunately, i have been stupid and i did not know, that it is so easy to set
Czech language by using very well known boot option. And that if i will copy
.iso image content to USB flash drive with this special boot paramether, i will
have Czech language also awailable after finishing installation by using
Remastersys-installer.
And because i have started to edit .iso image
generated by remastersys to add Czech language support, i occurred issues while
triing to boot resulted DVD from this image.
And when i have found out, that i can specifi Czech
language while booting from my USB flash drive, i erased The installation and i
wanted to start from scratch again. But unfortunately for me, crucial
dependencyes have been changed. So while i tried to install Alpha 1 or Alpha 2
live DVD by using Remastersys-installer, The resulted installation started to be
unbootable.
So i AM very sad.
My goal is to produce ammazing remaster with OCR
software, with braille display, with speech-disatcher, with SUE screen reader
and other useful applications for handicapped users.
Including GNome on screen keyboard
Gok.
I believe, that somebody of us would try to help me
to reach my goal.
Thank You very, very much for Yours patient access
to my pleasments.
