2.2.17 early access testing version (i386)
i386 build of the CVS boot-floppies as of yesterday is available at
<URL:http://auric.debian.org/~aph/bf/2.2.17/>.
The target for this is Potato 2.2r1, i.e., the first point release.
We would like to finalize this upload within a week or so.
This is not the final 2.2.17 but I have put it up for general testing.
Included is the changelog.
My big concern here is that configuration modules and PCMCIA works for
all flavors. I've had reports of PCMCIA not working for some flavors
and configuring modules not working for compact, but we don't have
confirmation of that.

Cancel is pressed, no need to spit an error message (closes:
Bug#68900)

problems with 'return 1' stuff

the quick investigation
- basedisk.sh: Added workarounds for missing device files and added
others to MAKEDEV call

to type in /instmnt anymore (closes: Bug#67082)
- Filling /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep properly so the tools won't
spread warnings all over the freshly started console (closes: No bug
report yet?)
- Added more sanity checks to floppy install, inserting base disks
when the drivers are requested will result in an error (partially
close: Bug#64428)
- Choosing an archive dir that is a link indeed will not result in
'not found' messages anymore, a '/' will be appended automatically
(closes: Bug#61373)
- When selecting a directory that does not exist, an error box is
opened (closes: Bug#57733)
- Added a call to eject() after writing the boot floppy on powerpc
failed (closes: Bug#69158)
* Akira YOSHIYAMA:
- add 'termwrap' script to the base system; this is invoked by init
and allows us to set i18n env var settings for base-config and other
chores
