Package: base disks
Version: 0.93R6

The scripts that are used to build the base disks from the base
packages' .deb files and so forth do not seem to be available
anywhere.

IMO they should be, in ../source/base-disks or some such.

(In fact, this may even be a requirement of the GPL.)

This is important as users may need to build their own basedisks with
special features.

Ian.

The source is all there, though it is distributed around different packages.
We're not going to run into trouble over the GPL because of that.
However, I agree with your concern. I am re-writing the base disks for the
ELF switch-over. When that happens, I will issue a binary package that will
create the base disks, and let you change the banner messages to indicate your
own value-added distribution, etc.

	Thanks

	Bruce

There's another problem. My box could only boot the boot disks with
	ether=10,0x300,0,0,eth0
being supplied to LILO; otherwise the boot hangs. Very unpleasant. My old MCC
1.0+ from April 94 work, though.

I built a bootdisk at the end of the installation, and yes, the same happens
to the newly created bootdisk.

That's ok with me, simply using the dist. boot disk with root=/dev/hd<xy>
and the ether stuff did the job for the couple of boots needed until a new
kernel was built and installed using lilo. But a bleeding Debian user with no
prior Linux knowledge will be stuck.

Cheers,

I never saw that one before. Please tell us what ethernet hardware you have,
and what kernel messages you see if you boot without providing that setting.

	Thanks
