My question is about how to use the files in people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/daily/ ?
I asked this on debian-boot, but nobody anwsered. I want to do a "Boot from floppy, install from net" install with d-i. I've searched archives of this group, I've read http://people.debian.org/~mbc/di.html http://people.debian.org/~pere/debian-installer/getting_started.html http://cvs.debian.org/*checkout*/debian-installer/doc/scenarios.txt?rev=1.4 as well as other files in http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/doc/ but still haven't found anwsers to my questions: Do I need a minimal set of one, two or three floppies to do a net install? Which of these files I use, and in which order I boot them: http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/daily/net-initrd.gz http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/daily/vmlinuz There was also once a file named: http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/daily/net-1440.img but it's not there any more. I've read in the list archives, that you "have made the image larger then the size of a floppy and it doesn't fit". Does it mean that it's now impossible to do a "Boot from floppy, install from net" install with d-i? Am I supposed to use dd or cp to put these files on the floppy/ies? For woody I used: http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/bf2.4/rescue.bin http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/bf2.4/root.bin and used dd to put them on the floppies, and all I needed is to boot from rescue.bin, then put in root.bin when prompted, and rest was from the Internet. But these files are 1.44M size. The new d-i are not 1.44M size, and I'm not sure how to use them. BTW: what's the difference between these directories? http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/2003-07-31/archive/ http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/2003-07-31/cvs/ thanks, -- Miernik ________________________ jabber:miernik <at> jabber.gda.pl __ ICQ: 4004001 ___/__ tel: +48608233394 __/ mailto:miernik <at> ctnet.pl Why software shouldn't be covered by patents http://bladeenc.mp3.no/articles/software_patents.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
