The lilo package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is often a good moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: lilo/new-config
Type: note
_Description: LILO configuration
It seems to be your first LILO installation. It is absolutely necessary to
run liloconfig(8) when you complete this process and execute /sbin/lilo
after this.
.
LILO won't work if you don't do this.
Template: lilo/upgrade
Type: note
_Description: Deprecated parameters in LILO configuration
Deprecated files have been found on your system.
You must update the 'install=' parameter in your LILO configuration file
(/etc/lilo.conf) in order to properly upgrade the package.
.
The new 'install=' options are:
.
new: install=bmp
old: install=/boot/boot-bmp.b
.
new: install=text
old: install=/boot/boot-text.b
.
new: install=menu
old: install=/boot/boot-menu.b or boot.b
Template: lilo/add_large_memory
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Do you want to add the large-memory option?
Usually LILO loads the initrd file into the first 15MB of memory to
avoid a BIOS limitation with older systems (earlier than 2001 and
few systems until 2004).
.
With newer kernels the combination of kernel and initrd may not fit
into the first 15MB of memory. LILO compute the needed size of memory
and will automatically use the memory above 15MB, too, if there is
enough physical memory.
.
If this machine has a recent BIOS without a 15MB limitation and you
want to use memory above 15MB for all kernels, set the 'large-memory'
option.
Template: lilo/runme
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Do you want to run /sbin/lilo now?
It was detected that it's necessary to run /sbin/lilo in order to update
the new LILO configuration.
.
WARNING: This procedure will write data in your MBR and may overwrite
some things in that place. If you skip this step, you must run /sbin/lilo
before reboot your computer or your system may not boot again.
Template: lilo/diskid_uuid
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Do you want to convert boot and root options?
Until kernel using the newer disk interface 'libata' you need the newer
DiskID and/or UUID in your /etc/lilo.conf the for boot and root options.
For the most modern systems you should use this conversion and then run
'/sbin/lilo'.
Template: liloconfig/maintitle
Type: title
_Description: LILO configuration.
Template: liloconfig/banner
Type: text
_Description: LILO, the LInux LOader, sets up your system to boot Linux directly from your hard disk, without the need for a boot floppy.
Template: liloconfig/configuring_base
Type: error
_Description: Hmm. I think you're configuring the base filesystem, and I'm therefore simply going to exit successfully without trying to actually configure LILO properly. If you're not doing that, this is an important bug against Debian's lilo package, and should be reported as such...
Template: liloconfig/liloconf_exists
Type: note
_Description: You already have a LILO configuration in the file ${liloconf}. If you want to use the new LILO boot menu, please take a look to /usr/share/doc/lilo/examples/conf.sample and choose one of the bitmaps located on /boot.
Template: liloconfig/liloconf_incompatible
Type: error
_Description: WARNING!
You have an old incompatible lilo configuration file!
Read the file /usr/share/doc/lilo/INCOMPAT.gz and rerun /sbin/lilo to write the
changes to your boot sectors
Template: liloconfig/use_current_lilo
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Install a boot block using your current LILO configuration?
Template: liloconfig/lilo_warning
Type: error
_Description: WARNING!
Even if lilo runs successfully, see /usr/share/doc/lilo/INCOMPAT.gz for
changes in the usage of the ${liloconf} file. If needed: edit ${liloconf} and
rerun '/sbin/lilo -v'
Template: liloconfig/select_bitmap
Type: select
Choices: /boot/tuxlogo.bmp, /boot/inside.bmp, /boot/debian.bmp, /boot/debian-de.bmp, /boot/debianlilo.bmp, /boot/coffee.bmp, /boot/onlyblue.bmp
Default: /boot/debian.bmp
_Description: The following is the list of the available bitmaps
Template: liloconfig/lilo_error
Type: error
_Description: ERROR!
Correct ${liloconf} manually and rerun /sbin/lilo.
Template: liloconfig/wipe_old_liloconf
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Wipe out your old LILO configuration and make a new one?
Template: liloconfig/no_changes
Type: error
_Description: No changes made.
Template: liloconfig/fstab_broken
Type: error
_Description: WARNING!
Either your ${fstab} configuration file is missing, or it doesn't contain a
valid entry for the root filesystem! This generally means that your system is
very badly broken. Configuration of LILO will be aborted; you should try to
repair the situation and then run /usr/sbin/liloconfig again to retry the
configuration process.
Template: liloconfig/odd_fstab
Type: error
_Description: WARNING!
Your ${fstab} configuration file gives device ${device} as the root filesystem
device. This doesn't look to me like an "ordinary" block device. Either your
fstab is broken and you should fix it, or you are using hardware (such as a
RAID array) which this simple configuration program does not handle.
.
You should either repair the situation or hand-roll your own ${liloconf}
configuration file; you can then run /usr/sbin/liloconfig again to retry the
configuration process. Documentation for LILO can be found in
/usr/share/doc/lilo/.
Template: liloconfig/instruction
Type: note
_Description: Booting from hard disk.
You must do three things to make the Linux system boot from the hard disk.
Install a partition boot record, install a master boot record, and set the
partition active. You'll be asked to perform each of these tasks. You may skip
any or all of them, and perform them manually later on.
.
This will result in Linux being booted by default from the hard disk. If your
setup is complicated or unusual you should consider writing your own
customised ${liloconf}. To do this you should exit this configuration program
and refer to the comprehensive lilo documentation, which can be found in
/usr/share/doc/lilo/.
Template: liloconfig/install_from_root_device
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Install a partition boot record to boot Linux from ${device}?
Template: liloconfig/use_lba32
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Use LBA32 for addressing big disks using new BIOS features?
Template: liloconfig/install_mbr
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Install a master boot record on ${disk}?
A master boot record is required to run the partition boot record. If you are
already using a boot manager, and want to keep it, answer "no" to the
following question. If you don't know what a boot manager is or whether you
have one, answer "yes".
Template: liloconfig/mbr_error
Type: error
_Description: ERROR!
install-mbr failed! Your system may not be bootable.
Template: liloconfig/make_active_partition
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Make ${device} the active partition
The master boot record will boot the active partition. If you want your system
to boot another operating system, such as DOS or Windows, by default, answer
"no" to the following question. You may still use your boot manager or the
master boot record to boot Linux. If you want the system to boot Linux by
default, answer "yes". In this case you could still boot some other OS if you
know what partition it is on.
Template: liloconfig/activate_error
Type: error
_Description: ERROR!
activate failed! Your system may not be bootable.
