Exactly, that'd be in the stage1 udeb (stage0 being everything up until anna runs, stage1 being the rest of d-i and stage2 being base-config, in my terminology) > chroot and telnet are useful for fixing problems with net: eg config > issues on the server - telnet in (ssh would be better, but too big) and > solve them, (eg adding an address to a bootp server), then proceed. Uh. I really don't see what you would need to fix with telnet on a net floppy that doesn't require the network to be up... > telnetd, I can't think of why thats there; was someone planning on doing > installs remotely via telnetting into the client from the server ??? Sounds extremely far-fetched. > We should also think of what we need for a _rescue_ environment : chroot > is useful there to fix lilo, etc. Point. But when booting from the net floppy, you don't have the necessary file system kernel modules to mount your other partitions anyway! /Martin
