Hi,
I've tested the 2.0 disks as of 980220, and they worked just fine untill
just after the network configuration where I (due to a mistake of mine) had
to reboot and start over. And to my supirse I discovered that most of the
settings was loaded from partually instalation I created, that's great!!
One think that you have forgothen to though is to load the selected kernel
modules again and initiate the network, which I had to do by hand as I
wanted to get the basedisks by NFS. That should not be to hard a fix, eh?
Another thing is the dialog box in which you type the NFS server and path, I
say it should get the default value of the latest string you've typed there.
As I had some problems getting the server to accept the new client, it was
getting quite anying to have to type the NFS path over and over again...
Would it be hard to make it possible to specify which network card you have
while you create the rescue disk so that it could be included there and
thereby make it possible to even load the dirivers over the network? A
rescue disk with full network capabilities will be very usefull if your
system crashes and you need to get hold of working files...
Also the dpkg-ftp modlue for dselect is not working in the installed base
system (as already noted) I got it working by copying the IO and Net files
from a installed hamm disribution.

severity 19846 wishlist
thanks
Hakan, most of your suggestions are good. The suggestion to reload
modules is possibly problematic -- loading a kernel module might lead
to a crash, and automatically reloading it might cause the crash to
return.
As for the dpkg-ftp problem, we've removed that for slink.
Since the rest of this report is wishlist items, I've changed the
severity of this bug accordingly.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).
The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.
If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
