Woody install report
I just downloaded b-f 3.0.15 (compact set, built on 2001-10-16) and
installed Woody on my Dell Latitude C800 laptop. Everything went very
smoothly. My only comments, questions actually, on the install(er) are:
(1) what happened to the progress meters that used to show up when
dowloading rescue.bin, drivers.tgz, etc ? I had gotten used to the
download rate meter, progress meter, ETA info, etc. that used to be in
the potato b-f/installer.
(2) can the base system files be downloaded by FTP ? I thought I saw an
email posted to this list saying that FTP retrieval of base system files
was possible.
(3) in the post-boot configuration, why are MD5 passwords defaulted to
"No" ie not enabled ?
(4) this is not totally related to debian-boot, but are there any plans
to ship Woody with a 2.4 kernel ?
