Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.13; reported 2000-05-20
Severity: wishlist
When you have made a custom kernel with no modules (module support might be
enabled but you have compiled no modules or you don't want to install them
with dbootstrap but want to install them with dpkg after the system is
installed) requiring modules disk after installing the kernel is confusing and
error-prone.
There should be a way to bypass modules install when you have a custom-made
hand-hacked kernel image.
One way to do so would be to add a magic documented file in the rescue floppy
which, if present, means the modules shouldn't be installed. This way follows
the least-surprise principle.

I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).
The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.
If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
