Since I'm PXE-booting, I thought I'd cast my eye over it. I don't know what version of d-i I'm using, likely it's beta4 or later (depending on what was on the ISOs I picked up a while ago).
I'm using this:
label 4
kernel images/sarge/vmlinuz
append initrd=images/sarge/net-initrd.gz
with apparent success - I've not let it go far as I want to fiddle with
it first,
What I really want to say though is this:The requested URL /debian-boot/2004/debian-boot-200406/msg02222.html' was not found on this server.
Since I haven't a clue where it really is, I'll leave it to someone else. _I_ do have a linuxrc, but it's pretty short. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa@computerdatasafe.com.au Z1aaaaaaa@computerdatasafe.com.au
