I follow something similar to the Dave Holland convention... ** Boot disk When making a bootdisk, IMO an option should be offered to do run fdformat; currently one must have a formatted disk to hand. ** During installation *** Mount/unmount In the mount/unmount menu after booting with the bootdisk/rootdisk pair, I see the message: /sbin/dinstall: 361648: no such file or directory Everything seems to work as expected otherwise, however. [ I've reported this already, I believe. - iwj ] ** Booting Up *** root password, user account /root/.bash_profile~ did not appear to exist, which caused a rather irritating loop when setting initial passwords, etc. I don't know if it was my fault that it did not exist (though I strongly believe that it wasn't). As a consequence of this -- or at least of my botched fix to it -- /sbin was not in root's PATH when I came to configure installed packages; and when dpkg tried to configure the libc package, it couldn't find ldconfig and left the libc.so.4 link stale (ditto libm). All binaries requiring it failed to run. However, after I fixed things and added /sbin to root's path, libc installed without any problems. [ I've reported this already, I believe. - iwj ] (This bug is reported to me by Richard Kettlewell, rjk1002@hermes.cam.ac.uk. He doesn't have email connectivity at the moment as it's out of term now and he's at home.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to rjk1002@hermes.cam.ac.uk (Richard Kettlewell), iwj10@cus.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) : New bug report received and forwarded.
