Hello Debian Install System Team, Attached you will a patch that boils down to - ethernet address of client (aka MAC address) + ethernet address (aka MAC address) of client - client + client computers to be installed - server systems + a RARP server system where the last two are about 1 single server and many clientsss Could someone applied into the versioning system? As log message I have this in mind: ethernet and MAC address together emphasing the difference in server and clientsss Cheers Geert Stappers -- P.S. I still did not find out why I get: svn co svn+ssh://stappers-guest@svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk debian-installer stappers-guest@svn.debian.org's password: svn: Connection closed unexpectedly Hints are welcome
