Hello all, <update> The patch is not ready yet because there are some things I have to fix. </update> I have taken the time look over the ppp-udeb and I tried to test it to see what happens on a practical case. I saw that the postinst failed and realised the templates were not emebdded in the udeb. So I fixed that and another issue with the postinst using echo for error reporting. For that error I added a template, but I would like a review on the wording before saying the patch is ready. Also a review on the changes made within the postinst is welcome. <update> I have tested the patched udeb by installing it in the d-i environment by running on tty2 "udpkg -i ppp-udeb_..." but I found out that the display is screwed and no item appeared in the d-i menu. Also there are some issues with display/debconf interaction because at every keystroke there is a short message (sorry can't remember exactly what it said, but it contains the pid of some process) which looks like some debugging debris (yesterday I was so tired I couldn't focus - Davide knows). What I want to fix before saying he patch is ready is to: - add automatic detection of concentrators and then fall back to user input in case (with a progress bar) - make the messages display correctly - review the wording of the messages - make the package have its own entry in the main menu (or maybe link to the network configuration if dhcp fails) </update> Any help on any of the points above is appreciated (I have a rough idea about how autodetection of concentrators should happen). -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
