Will the new woody installer address > this? well i never found the debian network questions confusing or any harder then any other distro or OS. maybe we should just fire up vi /etc/network/interfaces so they have to learn in the first place. as for woody i think most of the questions asked in dbootstrap are moved to base-config so a dpkg-reconfigure base-config should return you to the same set of questions from first install. im not sure that this includes network stuffs though since the network really has to be configured in dbootstrap for http base installs. > (Maybe I should ask this on debian-boot...) thou shall not bitch about thine boot floppies unless thy wish to fix them thyself. keep in mind that the powerpc boot floppies has exactly one person working on them (AFAIK): Dan Jacobowitz, and he his working about 92 hours per day so he really doesn't have time to do that much with them. i wish i had the requisite skills to try and make improvments to them but i don't. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
