The Debian install team were hell bent on dropping base2_2.tgz and
replacing it with .udeb's which, as I understand it, are installed from
the CD or a tarball. I complained as I need the trad base*.tgz for the
Hurd CDs and the team said that they would consider my request for a
facility to install a trad base*.tgz and tools to create the said trad
base*.tgz
I will be hanging onto the potato boot-floppies just in case. I do not
install b-f, but unpack the source which needs no compiling and runs
nicely when unpacked. This means that that I have several versions and
hacks available. You may want to do the same.
May I forward you message to b-f to strengthen my case?
Phil.
