potato install woes
Hi!
I tried to install potato on a Compaq Armada M700 notebook and experienced some
problems (I think I solved them, this is just for documentation purposes):
- When installing base2_2.tgz there is a broken pipe:
zcat base2_2.tgz | tar x
which hangs almost instantly, according to tar, the proper incantation
to read from stdin would be
zcat base2_2.tgz | tar x -
I extracted base by hand on the second console, rebooted and went
straight to the "configure base system" option in the installer
- the pcmcia-cs-package adds a wrong line to /etc/inittab:
S:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS3
which should read
S:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 ttyS3
Since I don´t need this, I commented it out in the pcmcia-script.
Should I file bugs, and if yes, against which packages?
