Hi,
for some time ago (3 weeks) I built some debian 3.0 floppies with the
2.4.9 SGI kernel (the one in testing). The boot images can be found
under:
http://www.physik.tu-cottbus.de/users/george/woody_xfs/
- bf-common contains the 2.88M images for CD's and the
drivers.tgz file
- bf-images-1.44 contains the 1.44M images
They contain full IDE support, 3c59x and NFS for net installs, XFS,
SoftRAID, ReiserFS, xfsprogs, raidtools2 und reiserprogs. SCSI didn't
fit in anymore and building an initrd image for it did not interest me
at the time(the floppies where ment for the IDE box at home).
There is one problem: there was a bug at the time of building
these floppies and psmisc would not be installed, thus breaking the
dependencies. The fix is to edit with nano-tiny
/usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/woody after boot but before installing the
base system and add psmisc in the 'required' line at the top of the
file. Sorry for the inconvenient but I didn't had the time to check
whether this was fixed, nor to automatise it.
Good Luck,
Ionut
PS They're not as bad as they sound :). Besides that psmisc thing, the
installation goes as smooth as one knows it.
