Just forwarding this around because it's interesting. ----- Forwarded message from Knut Yrvin <knuty@skolelinux.no> ----- From: Knut Yrvin <knuty@skolelinux.no> Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2004 17:21:30 +0200 To: debian-edu@lists.debian.org Subject: Fwd: [Discuss] installer Organization: Skolelinux User-Agent: KMail/1.6.2 I caught this motivating e-mail on the userlinux-list ---------- Videresendt melding ---------- Subject: [Discuss] installer Date: onsdag 28 juli 2004, 07:39 From: Bruce Perens <bruce@perens.com> To: discuss@lists.userlinux.com The first-stage installer packages are working, and I am currently debugging. choose-mirror is not doing what I expect: although it works, it chooses the mirror on its own and doesn't ask me. I have to test the second-stage installer (what happens after the system reboots). But the installer is almost done. More tomorrow. So far, /no/ modifications have been necessary to the debian-installer software. All of our stuff is in additional packages that hook into the installation menu system. But the debian-installer could use additional hooks and I may go back and put them in after this.
