Re: Can Debian install from a UMSDOS filesystem?
I imagine that you can do this. During beta testing of 1.1, I
copied the entire binary hierarchy to a DOS partiton. I mounted
this partition and then ran dselect pointed at the appropriate
binary directory. I don't think it matters if you use UMSDOS or
any other mountable filesystem. You just need to know how to mount
it. If necessary, you might need to execute the insmod command to
load the appropriate filesystem support.
