RE: new installation disks
Sounds good ..
Can you tell me which patches you used for the installation kernels, exactely ?
(alpha-patch-0.2 ... pre?? ...)
I would like to keep the kernel patch package and the installation kernel in sync.
Actually it is quite easy to change the kernel patch package. Just throw the gzipped patches
in the "patches" subdirectory and list them in correct order at the beginning of the debian/rules file.
Are you planning to make a automated MILO install (if this is possible) ?
BTW. Quite good installation instructions ... to reduce confusion I would suggest them to be
included in the Nano.HOWTO (or at least keep the two close in sync, somehow)

Subject: new installation disks
Hello,
So now there should be a working installation set on
http://lhpca.univ-lyon1.fr
(the intermediate one from 18 october was unusable)
Well actually, after the base is installed, when rebooting, the
dselect phase will fail if packages in the archive depends on
ncurses3.4 (there are still some in ftp.debian.org, but the new ones
are in Incoming).
The new set use the 2.0.35 kernels with the alpha-patches-2.0.35-0.2,
and some patches from the kernel patch of Guenter Geiger (some
are obsoleted by the new patch of gatekeeper).
A bug fix allow now to use the rescue disks for no-milos machine like
sable.
Still a lot of work to do, but the wonderful Milos of Nikita should
soon allow automated hard disk boot setting.
By the way, Nikita, do you think it is possible to run MILO on
platforms for which there is no MILO/source-palcode available?
