IMO if you just hit at that prompt you should just get the bare hostname. As it is you get your hostname with a full stop appended (which broke the Smail configuration process). * The list of network cards still scrolls. * Because of the problem I had with the default kernel (in another message) I had to use a kernel of my own which isn't modularised. I used my rescue floppy set to fix the /etc/init.d/console problem (bug#1181) and empty /etc/modules, but I still got a bunch of warning messages about dependencies. * The base disks have the old version of dpkg (0.93.42.3). They should definitely have at least 0.93.69. 0.93.70 (which hasn't been released yet) would be better. * The base disks have the old `hd' access methods in /var/lib/dpkg. I had to remove them manually before I could use the methods from dpkg 0.93.69 (which are broken-ish). * The base disks have an old version of `ed' which claims to be version `=V-=D'. This is bad because it doesn't get fixed automatically - dpkg things that it's a downgrade. See my other message for problems with the distribution kernel - these problems occur with the kernel on the boot disk created by the base system as well as with the distribution boot disk. I assume it's the same kernel. Ian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Ian Jackson : New bug report received and forwarded.
