Hi all,
Sorry if this is the wrong list for this...
I have been testing daily sarge floppy install images from
http://people.debian.org/~luther/d-i/images/daily/powerpc/floppy/
for a few weeks on OldWorld Macs.
That is, until October 8. Since then, root.img seems to have
swollen to
a size bigger than I can dd onto a floppy.
What's puzzling to me is that the sizes reported by any tool I use to
download the images is less than the ls -l report by around 4.2KB.
Example: in gFTP today's root.img shows 1468006 on the server and
1509557 on my hd.
Damn it, the root image has again grown out of proportion. Please
fill a bug
report against debian-installer about this. I will try to have a
look, but
Joey Hess and maybe Colin Watson would be better placed to fix this,
especially as i will probably not have access to my devel box
until i put some
order in this room. One month of travelling, and my computer room
now is
completely crowded. Oh well.
Hi Duane,
I'm forwarding this to Sven Luther, who generates the floppy images in
question. I'm also forwarding this to the "debian-boot" list, where
there are other folks besides Sven who may be able to help.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
