dpkg_multicd_0.13 and boot-disks 2.1.6 still broken..
Let me preface this with "I may have done something wrong"
---------
I downloaded the boot-disks 2.1.6 from Incomming (on medco.net)
dpkg_multicd_0.13 was already updated earlier this week...
So, I burned a set of release disks (disk 1 & 2)
------
I booted from the disk, and the initial install went well....
I rebooted to the kernel now on the hard disk....
Observations:
1. The defaults [Y/n] Create user account and Remove PCMCIA packages
still default to NO.
2. I selected the multi-cd install method.
3. I selected (with Y) one of the pre-selected packages..in this case
the std-server. and the first pass of dselect ended with errors
on apache and ph3...so I restarted (I)nstall...and received
the message:
Wrong Disk. I need "Debian GNU/Linux slink" but I found
"Debian GNU/Linux slink (2.1) 1/5 main binary section 1 SAM1990130
Please change the disks and press enter
...hummmm...
me thinks we be calling the same things
by different names ;-)
4. When I checked the /dev/loop? none were found...not that it
may matter much, I think dpkg-multicd_0.13 is not using them
now.
5. I could install a rudimentary system by selecting the
old "cdrom" installation method...
This information may be incorrect if I goofed up the download of
the new boot-disks....although a quick glance at the CDROM shows
the correct (new) files.
Anyhoooo....thanks and goodnight....off to drink beer with my woman.
