The net floppy has been broken for a long time. It looks like the whole nightly build is broken, due to Makefile changes...

After working on debian-installer for about a year (others have worked on it longer than that), this is precicely what I wanted to hear. "Hey, why don't you scrap all that stuff you've been doing and do <radically different thing> instead?" Come on. Do you really think that a majority of our userbase (and prospective userbase) prefers a shell prompt over a menu? Of course, that said, you are more than welcome to write such a manual. Heck, I'd even read it. /Martin -- Martin Sjögren martin@strakt.com Phone: +46 (0)31 7490880 Cell: +46 (0)739 169191 GPG key: http://www.strakt.com/~martin/gpg.html
