Package: debian-installer
Severity: important

I intend to (re)install Debian onto a PowerPC OldWorld machine and,
essentially, the only option that I have here is to use floppies.

I was talking with Sven Luther on debian-powerpc and he recommended me
to use the daily builds of debian-installer, but when I visited his page
(p.d.o/~luther/d-i/sid/images/*/powerpc/floppy/), I saw that,
unfortunately, the root disk-image is too big to fit onto a floppy,
unfortunately.

So, this means that I can't actually install Debian on this box, using
both the current installer in sarge (which doesn't boot on oldworlds),
nor the current installer that's being worked on.

I'd really love to have d-i working on ow ppc's.


Thanks, Rogério.

   * The script has not used the right name for the debconf template
     since 2005! That's conclusive proof that we don't need the debconf
     template, at all, so remove it.
   * No longer asks a question, which Closes: #352474
   * Renamed the package, to reflect that it doesn't just do floppies.
   * "mountmedia driver" can be used to ensure that a driver floppy,
     containing udebs (or debs) is loaded.
   * When looking for drivers, also try to mount removable USB storage, not
     just floppies. Whole hard disks and also partitions will be scanned as
     well.
   * "mountmedia floppy" can be used to force the old behavior, of only
     trying to load floppies.
   * As a special case, if /hd-media is mounted and has what we want, bind
     mount /mnt to it.
   * Needs media-retriever.
