ok, i went with anonymous cvs. downloaded boot-floppies. stopped. i have some question to ask you: *) i can't read sgml documentation. i haven't ever used sgml tools, so i installed debiandoc-sgml packages, but debiandoc2html doesn't do what i thought. *) part of the debian archive is required in order to make floppies. well, which part? i've a dialup workstation, i can't download all the unstable tree. see my output at 2* *) from within boot-floppies i try to run ./debian/rules but it spreads out that (i added some number for reference on the left): [dom@grullo ~]$ cd boot-floppies/ [dom@grullo ~/boot-floppies]$ ./debian/rules test -f rootdisk.sh -a -f debian/rules make release 1* find: ../../Incoming/: No such file or directory 2* find: /archive/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386: No such file or directory make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies' mkdir -p updates make utils 1* find: ../../Incoming/: No such file or directory 2* find: /archive/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386: No such file or directory make[2]: Entering directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies' make -C utilities KVER=2.2.10 make[3]: Entering directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies/utilities' make -C libfdisk KVER=2.2.10 libfdisk.a make[4]: Entering directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies/utilities/libfdisk' make[4]: `libfdisk.a' is up to date. make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies/utilities/libfdisk' make -C dbootstrap KVER=2.2.10 INCLUDE_DBOOTSTRAP=1 build-objects make[4]: Entering directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies/utilities/dbootstrap' make -C po make[5]: Entering directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies/utilities/dbootstrap/po' make[5]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies/utilities/dbootstrap/po' gen-header C.mo 3* make[4]: gen-header: Command not found make[4]: *** [lang.h] Error 127 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies/utilities/dbootstrap' make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies/utilities' make[2]: *** [utils] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies' make[1]: *** [build] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dom/boot-floppies' make: *** [build] Error 2 [dom@grullo ~/boot-floppies]$ it seems expecting to be extracted in a particular filesistem with other expected directories. *) what is gen-header? where i can find it? sorry if these question could be solved reading sgml doc, but as i told, i couldn't manage to translate it in some common format. meanwhile i'm downloading boot images, so i can dissect installation disks. any help is *very* appreciated :)) ciao -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok <cavok@freemail.it> --[ get my public pgp key at http://www.freeweb.org/free/cavok/
