Bug#239062: acknowledged by developer (Re: Bug#239062: installation-reports: USB stick image does not contain via-rhine driver any more)



Hi d-i Team!

Thank you for this hint! I did so and it works perfectly. I was
mislead by the d-i webpage; it seems to imply that the different
images are boot-media specific, not installation-type specific (thus
that the installer is essentially the same, only wrapped differently).
Maybe this can be clarified at the webpage?

Nevertheless, d-i now works just plain great! No rough or small edges
any more, thus I don't send an installation report any more (nothing
to complain :-) ).

Ah, I see. I did not dare to use the *.iso in .../netboot/ because it
sounds so much like a CD-ROM image.

Thanks for your outstanding work and have a nice Sunday!
