Do you have some modules in the directory that do not come from the kernel itself? Someone more familiar with modutils may be able to help you with this problem. > I also have some questions/problems that arise: > - Can I build woody's CDs using unstable system?

Yes, but for production use I would build woody PGI ISOs in a woody chroot or on a woody system. > - pgi-build seems to not recognize --misctmpdir and --output ! I accidentally left misctmpdir: out of the big getopt call in the pgi-build executable. I'll fix this for the next release. In the meantime, you can use -M as documented in pgi-build's usage message and manpage. There is no --output option.

Raphaël Hertzog has told me that debian-cd can do it, but he hasn't told me how. :) > I saw --with-debian-debootstrap option and I > belive it should be used? Is it tested option? Will it work? No, Debian's debootstrap breaks PGI quite badly. This option is there so that Anthony Towns can reproduce the bug, though as far as I know he hasn't tried yet. See Bug #139529. > If it's not possible with resonable amount of work - I'd like to know > *now*, I'll just skip the idea of having such a great and easy > installer as PGI :-( Well, great and easy as it is, PGI is still beta software. Thanks to folks like you who are willing to try it out, it may attain 1.0 sooner. > PS: I have not found better place to ask it than d-d.

I have been quite busy and I apologize for not getting to your mail sooner. > Am I alone in trying PGI? Is nobody else interested in it? ;-) A couple of people on the Debian IRC channel are pretty interested, as are a group of PowerPC hackers. Just this weekend I got PGI starting the GUI installer on my iBook without any prompting for X server configuration. -- G.
