Re: cvs commit to debian-installer/build/pkg-lists/netboot by dannf
efireader reads the contents of the EFI (BIOS on ia64) and uses
what information is available to pre-seed the debconf database in
d-i. At the moment, it just reads the language choice.
(srm-reader does the same on Alpha).
I've tested the code on a running ia64, but do not have an ia64 to
play with and do installs on, so if you do, I'd like to see it
work.
Regards,
Alastair

He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from
oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that
will reach to himself.
