I have a computer system with 3 ethernet ports, one on
the motherboard and two on a dual NIC PCI card.
Typically, the onboard port is aliased as eth0 while
the ports on the NIC get assigned eth1 and eth2.
Lately, eth1 gets assigned to the onboard port, which
is very annoying since that messes up
Hi All,
I'm using a slightly modified Debian kernel along with
PXELinux to boot a machine over the network.
My kernel's memory footprint is quite large (400 megs)
because it pre-allocates memory for some processes (in
the interest of speedier process execution).
My ramdisk size is about 500 me

agreed and the matter ended there. I don't know what would have happened

Debian contains no Vaishnava texts nor is anyone trying to

Well, they usually can be transliterated, can't they?
Transliterating is somewhat of a kludge (and I think in most cases UTF-8 is a
much better solution); OTOH I'd rapidly
s, be limited to Latin-1. If the Japanese maintainers
uncomplainingly transliterate their names to Latin-1 for our benefit,
then probably the rest of us should do likewise. Whether the Latin-1 is

0xc2 is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX... Sounds like you tried to
give UTF-8 to Perl without the "use utf-8" pragma to tell
ing your interpreter, I would not want it
quietly to accept a NO-BREAK SPACE as a token separator.
I would prefer it to warn me that I had some weird
character lurking in my script.

Current d-i writes the following line to the beginning of /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1localhost.localdomain localhost
Traditionally, this confuses some programs; at least pvm used to have
problems with this, and I'm fairly sure cfengine2 doesn't like it either, so
we've changed to
127.0.0.1

benefit is that dashes and
single quotes are usually what they appear to be.
Comprehensiveness is important, and Unicode is nothing
if not comprehensive. On the other hand, simplicity is
a prime aesthetic, which Unicode lacks.
