Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.1
Severity: normal
Hi
Current potato boot-floppies don't correctly handle the question:
"Will the hardware clock be set to GMT?"
A change in the sysvinit package has caused this. The file
/etc/default/rcS now contains the following:
"# Set UTC=yes if your system clock is set to UTC (GMT), and UTC=no if not.
UTC=yes
I usually answer no to the question and I ended up with the above
(incorrect) line.
Methinks that utilities/dbootstrap/tzconfig.c needs to be fixed. I'd
fix it myself if I knew how :)
Thanks
Greg

Subject: bugs fixed in boot-floppies 2.2.4

Message-Id: <20000103195209.402B7938CB@arroz.fake>
Thank you for your bug report. The bug should have been closed by
boot-floppies version 2.2.4, now in unstable (for i386, others
following shortly). Let us know if you have any more problems.
.....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
Changes: boot-floppies (2.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* fdisk: using the 2.2 features of the /proc file-system, we should be
able to detect any and all kernel-supported r/w random-access devices
* dbootstrap: installation via HTTP method (net-fetch) added; messages
not yet tuned, this method should work fine but might not look pretty
yet
* dbootstrap: look for files and stuff in
dists/potato/main/disks-%s/current where %s is the architecture name
* busybox: more updates, fixing some critical problems in tar (setuid
not respected, files with symlinks to them (i.e. libc) set to 777),
cp, and mv didn't work for directories; fix problem where symlink
targets were made world-writable (!)
* dbootstrap: when writing /etc/fstab, use tabs (closes: Bug#11926,
Bug#36657)
* dbootstrap: add commented out /dev/pts example to /etc/fstab
(closes: Bug#33950)
* dbootstrap: don't ask about GMT or not on m68k; when we *do* ask about
it, do it in one dialog box, not two; look for UTC not GMT in
/etc/default/rcS (closes: Bug#48866)
* base: remove setserial from sparc platform
* base: add xviddetect, and pciutils -- these are not yet integrated,
however; debconf-tiny integration put off due to critical
perl-5.005-base bugs
* rescue: rdev.sh handles an alternate kernel location as an optional
argument (closes: Bug#27650)
* dbootstrap: ask when mke2fs'ing whether to use 2.2 specific features
(closes: Bug#47490)
* dbootstrap: change the wording of the name server selection
(closes: Bug#23337); many other wording changes
* dbootstrap: don't put `vga=normal' in the default lilo.conf since it
apparently breaks MDA graphics cards (closes: Bug#35873)
* top-level Makefile: check for dependancies by examining
/var/lib/dpkg/status instead of running `dpkg --get-selections' since
the latter only shows whether a package is *selected* for installation
(closes: Bug#52596)
* scripts/basedisks/new_root_home/.bash_profile: trap `:' instead of `""'
so that children don't ignore the signals (closes: Bug#21867)
* dbootstrap: be more specific when prompting for floppies
(closes: Bug#48779)
* debian/rules: scrub /usr/src/boot-floppies.tar.gz more, removing wierd
ownership and permissions
