That's...very strange, the netboot image should have pump installed. I don't understand why this didn't work. > 3) Couldn't create a swap partition.

There have been problems with overwriting busybox-udeb with busybox-cvs, yes, but we're working on them, and Bastian has been fixing some bugs in busybox-cvs modutils code, but soon busybox-cvs will hopefully be up to speed and can be used on the boot medium. > All in all, it's not so bad.

I don't know what happened there...
