Re: We should help this guy...
1. Splitting up into 100MB parcels shouldn't be done by directories. even
for the minimal installation you need nearly all dirs, even X.
One should split up in base, required, optional,...
Base and required should go into the first peace and maybe something else.
2. Rockridge is an ISOFS extension to overcome the 8+3 barrier of M$Dos.
The dos-i386 distribution doesn't need it since all files are made to fit
8+3. RockRidge is suported by linux and W95/NT. I'm not sure about WIn3.11.
If they don't wan't to use Rockridge they have to use the short names
provided through dos-i386.
3. FAT, VFAT, FAT32 is suported as you know, umsdos seems to be broken
4. Whats that? Somebody else have to answere that.
I installed Debian with a 550 MB Harddrive, which had to hold the
packages also and a large swap. I startetd copying base, admin and so on
onto it and didn't like that so many thinks didn't install right. It's
kind of hard to see what IS NEEDED. Is there a tool that copies/moves or
outputs all files in for example required?
May the source be with you.
