I suggest we come up with a simple way to label d-i install media. I looked at using eg, the FAT disk label stuff for this, but it is very limited and has various issues. Besides, it's so 1983 and so i386. I'm thinking about a simple file like the example below, just dropped into the disk as a disk.lbl file: System: debian-installer Label: CD drivers floppy Date: 20031109 I really kinda need this so the bootfloppy knows when it has found the root floppy or hd-media, and not something else. The floppy retreiver could also display information from it (but translations?). More fields could be added as needed. I know that our CD's have their own .disk/info file, but this does not seem flexible enough. -- see shy jo
