Hi, some more updates, including a successfull install ;-) again refering to the issues 1-8... > on 5.: cause: base-installer/kernel/linux/initrd is set to false, should be > set to true (line 436 of base-installer's postinst) - svenl said on irc > this should be fixed in rootskel, but didnt know where. this prevents > kernel2.6 with quik to work on oldworld... fixed with r25866 in trunk and r25864+5 in sarge branch (tested by myself for sarge branch only (using the same sid-floppies as in the first install of this report - choosing kernel 2.6.8-powerpc and copied the base-installer postinst from sarge branch to /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-installer.postinst on installation system)) fixed issue 8 in my list as well. > on 7.: besides the scary text (which is debatable) the default should be > "yes" and not "no" to install quik, if i just choose it. clone this bug and > assign to quik-installer ? fixed with r25867+8 So I think there are only the issues 1-3 open. to 3: it's kbd-chooser, and I find it confusing that I my choices for "Type of keyboard" are "USB keyboad" and "no keyboard to configure". This machine has a ADB-Keyboard and no USB-Keyboard... If I choose the usb-keyboard, a list is prompted, where I can choose language specific keyboards, if I choose no keyboard to configure, this list does not appear (which is logical but so I'm forced to english keyboard). Is this a wording problem or something else ? to 2: will keep in my mind and can be treated as solved (the miboot-issue prevents for real rc3 builds anyway...) to 1: cmp also gets an EOF with 2.6-ppc root.img and 2.6-cd-drivers.img, which are both also smaller then 1440k. (but not with i386-root.img as it's 1440k as well.) regards, Holger
