Comments/Problems:
Installed unstable.
With the standard boot I was not given the choice of setting up static
addressing so I ended up using 'linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium'. Also, I
had to specify language en rather that en_US so I could select my
country and an appropriate (fast) local mirror (sunsite.ualberta.ca).
The base system install failed with the following:
-----
Base system installation error
The deboostrap program exited with an error (return value 127).
/var/log/messages ended with:
Errors were encountered while processing
exim4-daemon-light
mailx
at
exim4
exim4-config
exim4-base
/usr/sbin/deboostrap: 1: sleep: not found
umount: /target/proc/bus/usb: No such file or directory
-----
The latest versions of exim4-daemon-light and exim4-base (4.30-7) depend
on libgnutls10 but have not shown up in the archives for sparc. The
older versions (4.30-5) depend on libgnutls7 which is not installed.
The failure to configure exim causes the failures for mailx and at.
The version of busybox on the CD does not have sleep (applet not found)
and neither does last night's image.
