I'll do up details over the next few days; It sounds like this could be more complex to coordinate than I thought. I had hoped to avoid maintaining packages that weren't able to be in the archive (that is ones which have been modified to make tools available that I want) even though much if what I want to do will be beyond the usual use case for d-i. I had hoped to leverage the great variety of boot methods and disk detection. As it is my current build setup looks a lot like the old boot-floppies method, with options of floppy and cd. What is the feeling, in principal, about having system rescue stuff in d-i? What about foreign os rescue/backup/imaging? Is there anyway to have this available without borking d-i or will I need to maintain a shadow archive for at least some of this? > Please also let us know the numbers of the BRs you opened. Oh, I hadn't filed bug reports yet - this was planning. Good thing I asked too. Regards, Daniel -- And that's my crabbing done for the day.
