Hi, @Ian: Thanks for working on this feature. On 04.10.2013 11:27, ian_bruce@fastmail.net wrote:
Testing seems to show that the patch works well; the relevant portion of the installation log is reproduced below.
Sadly it only "seems" to work well, but in fact, your previous (and I assume also this) patch break apt-setup trying to add the CD to /etc/sources.list. I am currently working on this problem and hope to finish this soon.
Furthermore, for consistency I suggest to rename the boot option to 'findiso=', since the live image already uses this option. They use a implementation fairly similar to your first patch and I am sure, that they would gladly add any additional features implemented in the debian-installer.
The iso-scan package on the other hand seems not be in use currently.(I really don't care for the name, but it should be the same for all Debian ISOs. It's bad enough, that this is inconsistent between distributions!)
Best regards, Andreas
